Re: troubles with wvdial.

[awesome-dave1 juno com]

Hi,
	I found the section in the ppp howto, went to the web page, got the
latest wvdial/ppp/dependency rpms, and I'm still getting the same error.
Does anyone have other suggestions? If anyone has this working with an
isp, what versions of wvdial and pppd are you using, and can you send me
your wvdial.conf
Thanks.
Dave.
