What I do is this: I simply use c-e ! and when I am prompted for the "shell command" I just enter wvdial or wvdial & which will put the process in the background. Now, when I need to kill that process, that is, the wvdial process, I just go into the buffer list and kill the buffer with the name referring to wvdial. When I need to restart the program, there is no problem, even though wvdial exits abnormally with code 1. This is harmless, and I don't have their exit codes anyway so I don't worry about it.
Now, what is this with the modem driver. I have none. Wvdial itself is sufficient to drive even this pcmcia card modem on this laptop with no special driver. What are you using? Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C.
