chestnut-dialer is a PPP dialing program, written in Python. It does not require root permissions, but requires read and/or write access to some system files (including the modem device). It uses the standard pppd daemon for setting up network interfaces. Basic features include account manipulation, including importing from another programs, default accounts, a command line interface, and call-back configuration.
