Hi Beaker, 

Glad to hear you're on line. 

What do you like about wvdial?  Set up or everyday use?  I ask
because I used wvdial briefly without being impressed.  

I like NetBSD's pppd operation, myself; I find in inobtrusive and
reliable.  

I *do* think it should be possible to do what every Windows box has
done for 5 years: put in the user, phone, and DNS information and
have it Just Work for a basic client.  It shouldn't take a minor
degree in telecommunications, which is basically the situation now,
IMHO.  

It seems like with a few heuristics it's a small matter of
programming.  One of these days....

Regards,
