NAME

6       wvdialconf - build a configuration file for wvdial(1)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
10

DESCRIPTION

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.

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>.

DIAGNOSTICS

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.
