Request - wvdial

qb4:
Hello all,
My first post, I hope I'm doing it right.
Would it be possible to make a wvdial.tce for those of us who are stuck with dialup?
I did a search for wvdial, but maybe I am doing it wrong.
If I can get on the net with TC, then it is definitely a keeper, bye-bye Win98.
(no other Linux will run on my machine but TC).
Thanks.

Hi qb4!
There seems to be some interest in dialup.  I remember when I was happily using a 32k modem.  Though I haven't used dialup in about 4 years, I will pull my hardware out of the attick and see what I can do.  I can sign up for Netzero or something like that and build and test some ppp apps.  Hang in there for a little bit, for it may take a few days or a week to get my feet wet again with ppp, but I will see what I can do to support our dialup customers.

Oh, pppd is available in our tce repository, but I will see if I can't add some GUI utilities to our existing pppd setup.

Hi qb4!
It's me again.  I built and tested wvdial.tcel and it works fine here to connect.  But here's the catch: my "free" dialup acces is a long distance number that costs probably about $15 or more an hour, so I don't have the best access to test it with.  So I am asking for your help.  Let us know if there are things that can be improved upon in the wvdial.tcel package I am about to upload so we can fix it.  I will work on more user friendly dial up stuff for newcomers and I appreciate your help in providing dialup acces in TC.  I am not seperating the development stuff as I said time is tight, but maybe that can come later.  Thank your for your support of TC.

By the way, it is now the /etc/wvdial.conf file that you enter your settings though it was compiled for /usr/local.  Maybe later can be built for /usr/local/etc/wvdial.conf

Hey Jason,
You are the fastest thing since the RoadRunner, and at Xmas too.. amazing!
Thankyou for that, I have grabbed it and will test ASAP, and report back.

Edit, short time later:  It needs libssl.so.0.9.8. Where can I find that, please?
