Well, I use ppp and the comand pon and poff. It works pretty well. emerge ppp and then config with pppconfig. To connect, pon, to disconnect, poff. That would be as root, there should be a way to make users do it though. I'm not sure how. Now wvdial, it dials out, then sits for a minute, then disconnects with the error that my password is wrong, which is crap because it is correct. I only got wvdial to work once on another rig. It has never worked on this one though. Anybody have a clue on that one? I just like to have options in case it pours instead of just a little shower. My $.02 and a question as well.
