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.
