> Thanks I am quite familiar with wvdial, i have been using it as far back as redhat 6.2. I actually sent my prior email using it :) The thing I don't like is that by default a user can't use it. Although I remember being able to in redhat 6.2. Maybe it was a particular version that allowed users to use it. I would really like to get ifup ppp0 working again. It was working flawlessly. But wvdial works well and I said the hell with it and made the binary suid. This could be an administrators nightmare but I'm willing to take the risk because I don't think my box is a very public target and I have it locked down pretty good anyhow. -- . --- |o_o | |:_/ | Give Micro$oft the Bird!!!! // \ \ Use Linux!!!!
