Although I now use Kppp for my dialer, I had my first success at logging onto the net with wvdial. It worked the first time I tried it. I am happy to see the powers that be at SuSE listen. I think this will be a great addition to your next distribution, especially for the new Linux users who always seem to have such a tough time getting pppd to work.
Although, I've never really gone through the usual angst re ppp, on Linux or Solaris, I have to applaud the people at S.u.S.E. just for the fact that they stay on top of things and feel the very _pulse_ of what the _customer_ wants. I truly am amazed at how release after release they improve upon , what to me ( despite my little shipping problem on 5.3 which left me very _pissed_ at the time ) seemed like _the_ dist to have back when I first tried. it. I really think one of the things you have to notice the most is the way they LISTEN to what the PEOPLE say they want in a dist, and the way they respond with such thrift. ( It'll also be nice to hopefully see less ppp subject flooding on the list ...for some of us, hearing the same thing 50,000 times, gets a bit old, even though I sympathize with those experiencing problems. ) Hopefully this will kill that old beast, for most users anyway. Now let's cross our fingers and hope Santa puts a pleasant glibc transition phase into the old sack for all of us devoted S.u.S.E.Rs that will behave nicely come the New Year. I, despite some reservations at first ( mostly due to some of the complaints about 5.3--which I, btw, thought was excellent, on _my_ end, anyway ) am feeling extremely optimistic that this will be another tremendous product by S.u.S.E., hopefully with minimal bugs. -M - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
