Description: A user-friendly X interface to pppd/chat.
The xisp package implements a user-friendly X interface to pppd/chat
and provides maximum feedback from the dial-in and login phases on a
browser screen, as well as a manual login terminal window. It also
provides greater versatility in interrupting a call in progress and in
general enhances the user's feeling of "what's going on", especially if
he/she is not all that well acquainted with the intricacies of system
log files. Xisp also has means to track your phonecosts.
