wvdial is really easy and a good intelligent app for modem connecitons.. 99 percent of the time it gets it right with no config..
all you have do to is install wvdial, then run: (as root) touch /etc/wvdial.conf wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf (make sure your modem is on and connected.) it should find your modem, interrogate it, and write the init string etc to /etc/wvdial.conf edit that file yourself, and add your phonenumber, username and password where appropriate... then whenever you want to dial up.. just open a console and type: wvdial & you could put a shortcut on your desktop and use it from gui as well.. or put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start it at boot. (just don't forget the & at the end if you do that.) rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Praedor Tempus Sent: Friday, 22 November 2002 3:44 AM To: Mandrake Expert Subject: [expert] CLI app/script for activating modem I've always handled modem internet connections via a GUI app like kppp. What would be the method for doing this from the command prompt? praedor -- Conservatives of all times are adventitious liars. - Friedrich Nietzsche.
