I remember there being a terminal application (not the command line terminal, but a 'terminal' application) for using dial-up.

I just hope the push hasn't come to make Linux as much like Windows as possible. Whether or not it had market share, one of it's most alluring properties was that it isn't Windows. I know it's just superficial, but themes for Linux desktop gui's used to be all crazy and cool and different. Now they all look like Windows.

*sigh*

Maybe I just gotta keep looking. I have been out of the loop for a few years.
