Package: wvdial (1.60.1+nmu2)

PPP dialer with built-in intelligence

WvDial sacrifices some of the flexibility of programs like "chat" in order to make your dialup configuration easier. When you install this package, your modem will be detected automatically and you need to specify just three parameters: the phone number, username, and password. WvDial knows enough to dial with most modems and log in to most servers without any other help.

In particular, you no longer need a "chat script" to handle the most common situations.
