Hi, 1. I'm afraid the answer will be no: Can WvDial be used to automatically create a dial up connection whenever Netscape is started? Probably I'll have to write a shell script that first starts up WvDial and then starts up Netscape? 2. How do I tell WvDial to disconnect? Or better, once a connection is established, how do I disconnect it? 3. When I disconnect by killing the ppp process, WvDial immediately dials up again. How do I tell WvDial to please not do that? 4. How do I tell WvDial to go back to sleep (or remove itself from memory) short of killing the process?

Yes. You even gave the answer yourself.

Just start wvdial in the script that starts netscape.
2. How do I tell WvDial to disconnect? Or better, once a connection is established, how do I disconnect it?
Kill wvdial.
3. When I disconnect by killing the ppp process, WvDial immediately dials up again. How do I tell WvDial to please not do that?
Kill wvdial instead.
4. How do I tell WvDial to go back to sleep (or remove itself from memory) short of killing the process?

I did it the other way around... I created a script that fired WvDial and then fired Netscape... JLK Elan wrote:
