[haiku-development] Re: R1 blocker - dial up internet?

To put things into perspective a bit, this Ubuntu 12th or so stable
release still doesn't support this 2006 laptop winmodem out of the box
(tried once in almost 10 years) and i haven't succeeded with a manual
fix either :)
I would put this feature in the category: "cool, include it if someone
is motivated and it is ready before the release, but don't delay the
release for it". But anyway, thanks to Phillipe, it looks like it will
make it in R1.
We need support for the PPP stuff at least. Then, people will be able to write drivers by themselves. 
It's not a blocker for me, but it may be very important for other people.
Also, don't forget that dial-up users are likely less active on the internet than others, so they may as well be a silent majority after all.
