This has been tested in tahrpup, xenialpup and stretchpup. It also works in lucid but without the correct icons (which are not in lucid). I tested with a USB ethernet modem and an external serial modem.
Note that the text and "gettexting" of the messages has changed, necessitating review by translators to update the internationalization.
UPDATE 8/8/18:
Re-uploaded pupdial-2.0 after download #3, to add ensuring that the /dev/ppp node exists, so as to avoid a connection error. Puppies probably won't have that node. (I needed this for testing with Dpup-stretch.)
UPDATE 9/6/18:
Uploaded pupdial-2.1, to improve performance where modem-stats is not installed but microcom is used. It also adds modemdisconnect and a link to it for access by rc.shutdown.
UPDATE 3/4/19:
Uploaded pupdial-2.2, to remove obsolete code related to the long-gone gkdial and another minor change.
