I have just become a big fan of wvdial
my ISP has two different types of routers at their end, so a normal chat script doesnt' always work. So after much nashing of teeth, I downloaded the src rpm of wvdial and built me a binary. That thing is excellent, just give it a wvdial.conf file, which it writes mostly by itself anyway, and all you have to add is your username, password and the phone number of the ISP, and in my case, it has never failed.. my ISP sucks, and I often have to dial them several times with windows even to get connected, wvdial gets it right every time.. love this program... I can't believe that its not the default dialer in linux, why on earth use chat and fixed scripts when they have an intelligent dialer that works flawlessly? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Robin Sent: Thursday, 6 December 2001 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] gnomeppp pppd daemon dies Some people were asking: > > > Can some Gnome guru out there (I know you're on this list) PLEASE tell > be > > > what I have misconfigured, and why it's only a misconfiguration with > Gnome > > > ppp. > I'd really like to know this too.

Dunno if this will help your problems, but when I was struggling to set up GnomePPP I discovered an excellent tutorial on Eskimo.Net that solved my problems.
