0.6 didn't know that Dialup was active either (because it just called out to shellscripts!), and thus you couldn't do VPN through a dialup connection in 0.6 either. That was one of the biggest complaints against 0.6, and we fixed that for mobile broadband cards in 0.7, because the most complaints *by far* came from mobile brandband users. Something like 25:1 for wanting real mobile broadband over dialup.
