NAME

       wvdialconf - build a configuration file for wvdial(1)

SYNOPSIS

       wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

DESCRIPTION

       wvdialconf  detects  your  modem,  its  maximum  baud  rate, and a good
       initialization  string  and  generates   or   updates   the   wvdial(1)
       configuration file based on this information.

       wvdialconf  is  completely  non-interactive.   You  still  need to edit
       /etc/wvdial.conf to specify the phone number, login name, and  password
       of your internet account in order for wvdial(1) to work.

       It  is  safe  to run wvdialconf if a configuration file already exists.
       In that case, only the Modem, Baud, Init, and Init2 options are changed
       in  the  [Dialer  Defaults]  section,  and  only  if  autodetection  is
       successful.

BUGS

       We’re willing to entertain the possibility.  Let us know  if  you  have
       any problems by sending an e-mail to <wvdial-list@lists.nit.ca>.

DIAGNOSTICS

       An  exit  status  of  0  means  that  a  modem  was  detected  and  the
       configuration file was updated successfully.

       Any other value means that something went wrong and  the  configuration
       file was unchanged.
