Well I guess we all should complain about minicon not authenticateing.
Tho I doubt it would do us any good. Minicom is a terminal program.
I used it (loooong ago) to check out what my ISP was looking for when
I dialed in. It doesn't authenticate, nor is it supposed to. Had you
read the man page, you would have known that.
I can't help you with wvdial as I have never used it but I would
suggest that you download pppconfig, read the man page, and then
connect to the net.
Wish RedHat would do more to educate users, like Debian does.
