Most modern linux distributions have a network configuration wizard that
supports setting all kinds of connections, including DSL. They then
offer you interesting ways in which a user can invoke such connections -
for example, Mandriva have a "network applet" tray icon from which you
can "connect to the internet", while Fedora requires you to use a "modem
applet" or have the user run system-config-network unpriviliged, in
which case only the relevant interfaces can be turned on an off.
None of these interfaces are KDE centric, but as they are integrated
into the distribution desktop it should not be a problem. otherwise you
can probably tinker around with kppp to let you do that.
