Once you sign on with wvdial all users can use the internet, so you don't have to be logged in as root to read your email. There is a program 'pppconfig' which I think is better than wvdial and also makes it easy to allow users other than root to start and stop ppp connections. -- Harry Henry Gebel West Dover Hundred, Delaware
