Check if wvdial uses some special init string for your modem, and entre in into options-communication options. Also make sure that Serial Port Rate in the same dialog is set to 115200, Flowcontrol Hardware. Other than that, I can't think of any reason why the result could be different. Ciao, Martin

Hi! AFAIK kppp does not like to have lock set in /etc/ppp/options. Commenting it out made kppp work for me.

Re: packages for dialing isp
Why not write a one line script called dial aol which causes wvdail to connect to aol for you, put this in /bin directory and put a shortcut to this script on the desktop? Then clicking on this will cause wvdial to connect to aol for you:) Patrick On Fri, May 14, 1999 at 09:12:53AM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 5/13/99 5:24:17 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: How about x-isp or kppp (for KDE users)?

packages for dialing isp
I am looking for some packages for gppp, gnome-ppp, gppp-button, gpppwrap, or sip for slink. does anyone know where I can find a small X app so I can click to dial and hangup and maybe see some options like choosing which ISP to dial, connect speed etc? (I can't get any of the above to compile even though I have installed slink's GTK-dev etc...) Thanks Jeremy C. Reed http://www.toprecruits.com
Re: packages for dialing isp
There is a tcl version of wvdial which seems to handle multiple isp accounts very well and runs in X. Did you find GNOME easy to set up? Patrick
