Well, I use ppp and the comand pon and poff. It works pretty well. |
| 16 |
emerge ppp and then config with pppconfig. To connect, pon, to |
| 17 |
disconnect, poff. That would be as root, there should be a way to make |
| 18 |
users do it though. I'm not sure how. |

Now wvdial, it dials out, then sits for a minute, then disconnects with |
| 21 |
the error that my password is wrong, which is crap because it is |
| 22 |
correct. I only got wvdial to work once on another rig. It has never |
| 23 |
worked on this one though. Anybody have a clue on that one? I just |
| 24 |
like to have options in case it pours instead of just a little shower. |

My $.02 and a question as well. |

To err is human, I'm most certainly human. |
