there should be no reason why if you dont just update the
various settings, she would have problems connecting
just phone number, user and password.
the only complication is if optus uses CHAP/MS-CHAP rather than PAP.
linux does support both without any dramas. it would simply be
a matter of enabling them.

I set up a Linux system for a friend. She uses a dial-up modem. I
configured wvdial for her use and that's worked satisfactorily for her
with a couple of ISPs, a uni and then a commercial one. However, she's
left the uni and the commercial one's just folded.
She uses Optus for her mobile phone network and found out that she can
get cheap dial-up from it.
Is anyone reading this by chance using Optus dial-up? Is a person with
pretty rudimentary knowledge of these things (me) likely to be able to
get her connecting to Optus with wvdial?
Thanks for reading this,
Leslie
