RE: will it affect or interfere with any existing or possible future linux operations? No For the alternative dialout, just add a three lines to /etc/wvdial.conf a set of lines like: [dialer IP2] Phone = phoneIP2 Login = LoginNameIP2 Password = passwordIP2 and dial out to IP2 with wvdial IP2 MarvS On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 8:39 PM, Antonio Olivares <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > --- On Wed, 10/15/08, Peter Barber <peterbarber.hough@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> From: Peter Barber <peterbarber.hough@xxxxxxxxxx> >> Subject: LINUX UBUNTO - HSF MODEM DIAL-UP >> To: "Marvin Stodolsky" <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> >> Cc: "Antonio Olivares" <olivares14031@xxxxxxxxx> >> Date: Wednesday, October 15, 2008, 5:03 PM >> Hello Marv >> cc Antonio >> >> Well .... yet another interesting evening!!
