Hi Further to my wvdial problem that I couldn't sort out...
I used it under 6.4 It needs to run initially at boot (or it at least needs to be started, which loads pppd with some dummy IP addresses it uses a 'nameholders'.) I don't use it anymore (got cable now), but if you have specific questions I will try to help.
As things are just now this is what is happening.... After doing 'ln -s /etc/init.d/wvdial.dod /etc/wvdial.dod' on the SuSE 7.2 dialup box in question I have then opened up the part of YaST1 that changes /etc/rc.config amd told the machine to start wvdial.dod on bootup. On bootup it says .... starting pppd 192.xxx.x.100: 194.xxx.xxx.1 /dev/modem Analog modem 5600 modem crtscts defaultroute -detach user xxxxxx ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote call wvdial demand idle 180connect "/usr/bun/wvdial --chat" PID=17943 ls: /var/run/ppp? .pid: No such file or directory and it doesn't connect when I open a web browser on another machine. I think I've gotten myself thoroughly confused here and some helpful pointers would do a lot for me just now. Had a look under /var/log/messages and it says... pppd[17943]: unrecognised option 'Analog'. I take this to be a reference to /etc/wvdial.conf. Or, maybe not ? Thank you -- Richard
