preferred dialup program
is there a best dialup program? I have been using wvdial, and it seems to work ok, so I guess don't fix what ain't broke, but maybe another program is somehow better... -- Jeff Maxson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I used xisp, works fairly ok, automatically redials, keeps track of time (and price, if you pay for time connected), tries different numbers etc... that was useful when my isp had problems (sometime one number didn't work but other worked) later on I just used pon/poff in combination with gkrellm - just hit button on gkrellm to connect, it shows when the connection is up and amount of data transferred (real time, no statistics). if there's any problem, tail -f /var/log/syslog (or /var/log/ppp.log) to see what's going on. erik

It is a ppp configurator which configures ppp as recommended by the upstream ppp maintainer for use with pon/poff or any of several dialup programs and ppp monitors. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, Wisconsin
