I can attest to wvdial. It is fantastic, but you must first NOT install any diald. If you allow dial on demand you will cut off the connection that wvdial has made. <A HREF="http://www.worldvisions.ca"><A HREF="http://www.worldvisions.ca</A">http://www.worldvisions.ca</A</A>> Read back over the threads, indeed. It has been a lengthy study on my part, for sure. On Sun, 06 Sep 1998, you wrote:
I don't have my 5.3 yet, but if it's like my 5.2, then for some reason suseppp isn't installed automagically. You need to fire up yast and install suseppp, it's located in the 'n' packages (I think). I never got suseppp for 5.2 to work for me, but maybe 5.3 has it fixed. I recommend setting up your scripts by hand. It really is a matter of cutting and pasting the relevent portions of the PPP-Howto in to the right files, editing them for your ISP and setting the right permissions on files like /sbin/pppd, /dev/ttyS?, etc. There have been a bunch of threads on this very topic over the last few weeks. Of notable mention is wvdial which appears to have worked well for many. I cannot attest to its ease of dialup setup, but you might want to search through the SuSE mailing list archives...
