Here is a start.
http://dsb3.com/wvdial/wvfaq.html

We use wvdial quite a bit. Easy to configure and use. But you must be root
to dial out. At least that is as far as I have gotten.

I plan to use diald in the future which is the perfered dial up software.
Wvdial is quick to configure.

Both diald and wvdial require ppp and mgetty+sendfax to be installed on your
RH box. When you dial another ppp server, you can use ifconfig to see the
ppp0 device and get the IP to connect to.

Hope this helps....

Subject: wvdial. - mgetty or what


after enormous problems configuring HSP56 modem, I
just get to dial my phone number.. taking a example
for chat.(?)..  but what I want is configure almost 4
linux boxes to :
1- dial machine(1)
2- connect (maybe telnet)
3- get some files (maybe repair a program)
4- close connection machine(1)

5- dial machine(2)
... and so on

but I'm very confuse about pppd0, wvdial, chat,
rlogin, mgetty.  all this stuff get me lost.

which would be the best way?.
what should I read.?

Thanks in advance

pd.  Don't have GUI.
