Maybe. I fear it'll drag in all kinds of twisty dependencies. All I want
is /usr/sbin/chat and /usr/share/man/man8/chat.8.gz . Unless there's an
equivalent CLI program to init a modem which is installable separately from
the whole ppp kit.

eben@pc:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep ppp
ppp deinstall
...

What's "deinstall" mean -- it's not installed?
