   7 <p>The command line modem documentation can be found
   8 <? createLink("modem", "here"); ?>.  The Desktop automates much of that
   9 detail, using the following dialog:

  11 <p>
  12 <center>
  13 <? createImageEx("desktop-modem.png", 'width="241" height="294" border="1" alt="Barry Desktop modem dialog"'); ?>
  14 </center>
  15
  16 <p>This dialog assumes that you have pppd installed and that the system
  17 permissions allow you to run it, or that you have one of the supported
  18 GUI sudo packages installed (gksu or beesu).
  19
  20 <p>It lists the available ppp scripts for the known providers.  It will
  21 also remember which one you chose last.
  22
  23 <p>The password is optional, depending on your device setup.
  24
  25 <p>Upon launching the modem connection, the pppd output will appear in
  26 a separate xterm window.  You can cancel your connection at any time
  27 by pressing Ctrl-C in that window.
