Re: [LI] ppp

["betacomp" <betacomp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does it proves that text mode is better than gui?
BTW wvdial is excellent for multiple ISP also.
Create different /etc/xxxx.conf file and run wvdial /etc/xxxx.conf.
No need to put in bg, just use other virtual terminal for browsing.
To close the ppp connection just go to the virtual terminal from where
wvdial is started, and press ^c.
If the line is engage just press ^c and restart the wvdial.
Many of the gurus may object to some of my method above, but remember this
for the newbies only.

|
|Do me a favour - try this:
|
|1. Run
|
|wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
|
|Once your modem is detected, edit /etc/wvdial.conf and add your ISP phone
|number, userid and password in the obvious places (remove the ; from the
|beginning of the lines).
|
|2. Run
|
|wvdial
|
|And see if it connects.
|
|If it does, hit ctrl-Z and run "bg" to background it.
