Out of interest where will I find documentation on the parameter "Stupid Mode" ??
man wvdial and man wvdial.conf Stupid Mode When wvdial is in Stupid Mode, it does not attempt to interpret any prompts from the terminal server. It starts pppd immediately after the modem con nects. Apparently there are ISP's that actually give you a login prompt, but work only if you start PPP, rather than logging in. Go figure. Stupid Mode is (naturally) disabled by default. smpppd uses wvdial to connect, it just doesn't use /etc/wvdial.conf, it creates its own wvdial.conf based on values in the provider file. //Anders
