Hello all,

with the some aid, i was able to get wvdial to work finally, and it's a good program. my only problem now is if i dial using a link on my desktop (kde), it dials up. but when i want it off, i used my ppp-down script, and it forced wvdial down, but i couldn't use wvdial a second time, as the process was still running. is there a solution to this, besides kill -9 PID, in the way of a wvdial-down script?

Aaron, glad to hear you got it running. I would love to hear what the fix was for your pppd ills. To answer your question - If you start wvdial in a terminal use <ctr>+C or kill the terminal. If you start it using a desktop icon and not in a terminal just create another K-link icon with the command "killall wvdial". Thats it! That is how I am using it and by the way wvdial is much faster to dial&connect/disconnect than kppp, ezppp, the suse scripts, and my own home-made scripts. -Ben -- "You can lead a horse to water...but by the time you got there you would smell like a horse and your butt would hurt." - Dogbert - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
