Mmmmm... doubtful... I don't know users being able to write to the
database themselves... For you, you are right... if they NEED a trouble
ticket, chances are they won't be able to use their browser. If someone
can configure dialup and their web browser properly, they *usually* can
configure their email properly.

For people with general config problems, there is the troubleshooter. So
that would also make it rather pointless.

So 95% of the time they wouldn't be able to add a trouble ticket for
themselves. And for the ones that could (their connection still works),
they are much more likely to send an email to tech support. And for all
others (majority of the problems) they will still need to talk to a real
person because they don't know how to install drivers for their modem or
something.
