man wvdialconf (Commandes) - build a configuration file for wvdial(1)

NAME

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-list@lists.nit.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.
