I have got my winmodem to work, configured wvdial to work ... I now have internet access BUT I cant get diald to work !!! I have set up my /etc/diald/connect file I have executed /etc/init.d/diald start Magically /var/log/ now has entries for diald !!! If I'm doing something dumb, let me know, according to my Debian GNU/Linux bible thats all I have to do and it should work !! OK so the bible is for POTATO !! Any help much appreciated Dave
