Yes. Run linuxconf, open the networking option and find ppp. You'll be asked for the
settings. Note that for some reason, it doesn't ask you for an ip address to put in
/etc/resolv.conf, so in some situations you'll need to edit it manually.
To bring the ppp connection up after it has been saved and configured do the following:
become root
type ifup ppp0
to disconnect, type ifdown ppp0 as root.
