This is a GUI app using XFORMS. Head to <A HREF="http://users.hol.gr/~dbouras/";><A HREF="http://users.hol.gr/~dbouras/</A">http://users.hol.gr/~dbouras/</A</A>> & download the latest,
edit the makefile as needed. (I'll be happy to send mine.),
make and make install. type XISP as su root and enter your ISP's info.
