*SNIP* I was under the impression that if I used the line wvdialconf /usr/bin/wvdialconf it would edit the /etc/wvdial.conf config file. a fake. try wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and run it as root. otherwise you won't be able to edit it. hth -- Shaun Oliver In a world without fences and walls who needs Windows and Gates?
