I'm pretty sure YAST comes with PPP setup tools, but having used SUSE
for only a short time, I just don't remember how can I guide a user
blindly (without knowing menus he sees). At the same time, I find it
easy
to guide RedHat users as they also have pppd by default and LinuxConf
which has PPP configuration.
It's all a matter of experience. With helping those newbies, you're
better
having 5 distros in your head rather than being an experienced sysadmin.
Anyway, trained tech support people should help those - not sysadmins :)
