setting up ppp using wvdial?

[Jay Daniels]

redhat-control-network &

The Gnome ppp dialer which used wvdial (as far as I know) was never
ported to GTK+2 or Gnome 2.2.

This looks like an attempt to create gppp for Gnome 2.2 but it's in
the pre-alpha stage.

While most have DSL or some type of broadband network connection,
there is still a need for a gnome ppp dialer on laptops!

For the time being you can use redhat-control-network and the command
wvdial to start and stop your dialup connection.  Ctl+c to kill wvdial
in a terminal.  Nasty, but it works.
