Bug#488005: O: wvdial -- PPP dialer with built-in intelligence
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of wvdial, Simon Law <sfllaw@debian.org>,
is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package
now. If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: PPP dialer with built-in intelligence
WvDial sacrifices some of the flexibility of programs like "chat" in order
to make your dialup configuration easier. When you install this package,
your modem will be detected automatically and you need to specify just
three parameters: the phone number, username, and password. WvDial knows
enough to dial with most modems and log in to most servers without any
other help.
.
In particular, you no longer need a "chat script" to handle the most common
situations.
