Improve the dial-up configuration handling:

- Display the provider name instead of a cryptic number
- Check the return value of ifupdown
- Add a new section to README.Debian about how to set up a dial-up connection

+Dial-up configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+After configuring your PPP interface (either manually or by using a tool like
+"pppconfig") to work with a peer called "myisp" you should edit 
+/etc/network/interfaces and add a stanza like this:
+
+iface ppp0 inet ppp
+	provider myisp
+
+NM will then make it possible to dial this connection.
+If you want to set up multiple internet service providers simply create a new 
+stanza as listed above specifying the provider and a different iface, e.g. ppp1.
+
+Please read the "Debian Reference Manual", section 10.6.1.4 or the "interfaces"
+man page for further information.
