SYNOPSIS

10       wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       wvdialconf  detects  your modem, its maximum baud rate, and a good ini‐
15       tialization string and generates or updates the wvdial(1) configuration
16       file based on this information.
17
18       wvdialconf  is  completely  non-interactive.   You  still  need to edit
19       /etc/wvdial.conf to specify the phone number, login name, and  password
20       of your internet account in order for wvdial(1) to work.
21
22       It  is  safe  to run wvdialconf if a configuration file already exists.
23       In that case, only the Modem, Baud, Init, and Init2 options are changed
24       in the [Dialer Defaults] section, and only if autodetection is success‐
25       ful.

BUGS

29       We're willing to entertain the possibility.  Let us know  if  you  have
30       any problems by sending an e-mail to <wvdial@nit.ca>.
31
32       Also,  there is now a mailing list for discussion about wvdial.  If you
33       are having problems, or have anything  else  to  say,  send  e-mail  to
34       <wvdial-list@lists.nit.ca>.

DIAGNOSTICS

38       An  exit status of 0 means that a modem was detected and the configura‐
39       tion file was updated successfully.
40
41       Any other value means that something went wrong and  the  configuration
42       file was unchanged.
