Ok, Jacques, the problem is that I was not complete on my explanation. As you said, the address I have passed to you is an ISP, but they claim they have a dialer (a program) also, which is specific for linux, besides the windows version. They have the link to download this dialer on the frame 'Escolha o seu sistema', which means 'Choose your Operational System'. In this link, they say this dialer has been tested for Red Hat and Conectiva. I don't know if it is better to use this dialer than the wvdial, but I have seen forums on the internet where they say this ISP is the best (the most stable, maybe) one for linux. > 2-All ISP's should work the same with ANY Linux.

I will try your tips as soon as I arrive at home, where I have the dial-up connection.
