Networking :: pppdial?

Hello,
I am looking for info on where pppdial came from?
The reason is, I'm playing with Slax livecd, and Fluxbox does not have a gui dialer, and pppdial looks like just the ticket (the author of Slax might even be interested in it). I am in the process of making a custom Slax cd, and wanted to know where to find pppdial (would be a plus if it where a slackware package). I have tried googling, and I've run into dead links and dead ends.

original here.
