6.1 seems *alot* more polished to me - it finally delivers what Mandrake 
has been promising.  For setting up a dial-up connection, I recommend 
(assuming you are using KDE) Kwvdial.  Its on the Mandrake disk.  Input a 
few basic parameters, and it probes for your modem and configures 
everything good to go.  KPPP is a nice dialer, too.  Unless you really know 
what you're doing, using these graphical tools is a much better plan than 
"root"-ing around in config files.

If Kwvdial fails for some reason, you can access a very helpful mailing 
list from the developers' Web site - http://worldvisions.ca/wvdial/
