Good to know!
I have only found "gkdial", installs ok (with a couple of dependencies) but then complains "Your kernel is missing PPP support" and doesn't connect...
BTW I edited the peer and set /dev/rfcomm0 instead of /dev/modem

EDIT:
The kernel modules are installed, but there is a new udev quirk:
pppd is unable to open the /dev/ppp device. You need to create the /dev/ppp/device/node by executing the following command as root: mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
