That's not correct. It is possible to configure eznet/pppd
so that an ordinary user can do ppp-on and ppp-off.

Why not copy the file to floppy from AbiWord? Once the floppy
is mounted, AbiWord will treat it just like any other directory.

Just tell them to wait for the drive's light to turn off
before removing the floppy. As for mounting/umounting
the floppy, you could make those menu items.
