Re: Fibonacci, Colombia, 2.6.35-24-generic

[Jacques Goldberg <goldberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear "Fibonacci Prower",

The default configuration file for wvdial is indeed /etc/wvdial.conf
The command man wvdial explains how to use wvdial including defining n 
alternate configuration file using the option -C (CAPITAL C).
The "official" default configuration file for gnome-ppp is 
$HOME/wvdial.conf
When you edit wvdial.conf, make sure that you are working on the one you 
intend to use, for wvdial or for gnome-ppp
Note that gnome-ppp just uses wvdial to establish the connection, 
looking more "sexy" (Windows...) and hiding a lot of important information.

There are so many Linux commands that you may not have yet met the 
command locate (may need a sudo with Ubuntu) to see for example how many 
wvdial.conf you have and where:

sudo locate wvdial.conf

locate does its job using a database of your files which is created and 
update by the command
sudo updatedb (sudo mandatory here in Ubuntu).

Better remember to run sudo updatedb before locate if you are not sure 
when was the database refreshed.

At this point, if you are not familiar with the back quotes ` ` below, 
enjoy this:

sudo ls -l `locate wvdial.conf` , you will also get the date stamps of 
all file names on your disk which contain the string wvdial.conf

These commands help to avoid editing some wvdial.conf while actually 
using an other one for a test...
