Comments: This is wvdial and the related wvstreams package to support
dialup connections. Config file is /etc/wvdial.conf though package was
built for /usr/local.

I see no dep for pppd - does wvdial function standalone?
-
No, and I will take care of that tonight when I get home as I mentioned in the other thread.
-
This extension has been removed as it does not function and will require rebuilding and further development and testing.
-
Sorry to dig this topic up but any chance of seeing this put back in and/or explaining what the problems were with it being removed in the first place?
Thanks

Are u sure it was not working?

Here is info on how you can connect to the internet using a dial up modem.

To be honest I don't remember exactly what the issue was beyond not connecting. I haven't used dialup in years, so it would not be a good investment of my time to revisit it or maintain the package even if it worked well. And I always used pppsetup or gtkdial back then anyway.
Pehaps someone familiar with wvdial could make an extension.

I think I've used with 2.x and a 3g modem
