wvdialconf - build a configuration file for wvdial(1)
SYNOPSIS
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
DESCRIPTION
wvdialconf detects your modem, its maximum baud rate, and
a good initialization string and generates or updates the
wvdial(1) configuration file based on this information.
wvdialconf is completely non-interactive. You still need
to edit /etc/wvdial.conf to specify the phone number,
login name, and password of your internet account in order
for wvdial(1) to work.
It is safe to run wvdialconf if a configuration file
already exists. In that case, only the Modem, Baud, Init,
and Init2 options are changed in the [Dialer Defaults]
section, and only if autodetection is successful.
BUGS
We're willing to entertain the possibility. Let us know
if you have any problems by sending an e-mail to
<wvdial@worldvisions.ca>.
Also, there is now a mailing list for discussion about
wvdial. If you are having problems, or have anything else
to say, send e-mail to <wvdial-list@worldvisions.ca>.
DIAGNOSTICS
An exit status of 0 means that a modem was detected and
the configuration file was updated successfully.
Any other value means that something went wrong and the
configuration file was unchanged.
