12 wvdialconf detects your modem, its maximum baud rate, and a good ini‐
13 tialization string and generates or updates the wvdial(1) configuration
14 file based on this information.
15
16 wvdialconf is completely non-interactive. You still need to edit
17 /etc/wvdial.conf to specify the phone number, login name, and password
18 of your internet account in order for wvdial(1) to work.
19
20 It is safe to run wvdialconf if a configuration file already exists.
21 In that case, only the Modem, Baud, Init, and Init2 options are changed
22 in the [Dialer Defaults] section, and only if autodetection is success‐
23 ful.
24
26 We're willing to entertain the possibility. Let us know if you have
27 any problems by sending an e-mail to <wvdial-list@lists.nit.ca>.
28
30 An exit status of 0 means that a modem was detected and the configura‐
31 tion file was updated successfully.
32
33 Any other value means that something went wrong and the configuration
34 file was unchanged.
