What program can connect to a cable modem and dial? She has this information:
1) host name
2) user name
3) password
4) L2TP

Don't get a cable modem, get a cable router. That way she can connect
via standard ethernet and needs no special software at all on the PC. It
has the added advantage of supporting multiple PCs on the one cable
link.

What do you mean "dial"? Cable is always on...

It's called a PPPOE connection and just getting a cable router won't
help unless it supports that type of thing.

The OP should use their favorite search engine and see what they can
turn up. I've not setup a PPPOE connection under Linux so unfortunately
can't help other than to post this link:
