Richard, I would just use pppconfig on potato is pretty easy to use and makes it nice and easy to just type 'pon' and it connects for you. Then when you are happy with pon, in /etc/network/interfeces put
iface ppp0 inet ppp allows you to do ifup ppp0 instead of pon. If you have left the provider name the default name of provider then the above will work. yeah so remove wvdial and just use pppconfig - its pretty straight forward. btw I think there is a detach option in ppp and wvdial to get it our of learning sort of mode... dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Hayes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 10:56 AM Subject: [SLUG] wvdial on Potato > Dear list, > > I have installed wvdial on Potato.
