I recently installed SuSE linux 6.1 and I'm trying to get ppp to work. So far I have everything working and when I type wvdial at a prompt I can use various internet services. My question concerns disconnecting. I read the man pages for wvdial and there is nothing there. There are no options suchs as wvdial -d to disconnect. Right now the only way I know is to kill the program but this does not hang up my modem correctly. Any help would be appreciated.

try control c on the terminal its running on

There is one other question I had that someone might be able to explain. When you view permissions for a file sometimes you see s instead of x under the execute column. What does the s mean? I read the man pages for chmod but I couldn't really understand what they were talking about. Also, can you set s for all users? I tried but it didn't work.
