Hi,

I finally got a real modem and afterconfiguring wvdial I am now proud to display my sig file.

My request-

Can someone post a sample fetchmailrc file. fetchmailconfig doesn't work for me (it will not save the user information).

I want to be able to have a cron job dial the ISP, collect and send the mail, perform any ftp jobs and then hang up. Can I do this with wvdial? I haven't

the cron part was *just* dealt in another thread. I do not know wether /etc/ppp/ip-up is run by wvdial (I use ISDN), but there would be the place to put it in.

figured out how to hang up wvdial automatically.

As far as I experienced (I set up wvdial in a dirty & quick session for a friend) it's dial and hang up by hand. (start it in a term. window and ^C it, repectivly use the kill or killproc command to terminate it...) There was again current mentioning of dial on demand with wvdial, but I didn't follow that either. Juergen

Thanks,

Rod
