As an side note, diald isn't always a money-saver; for me, in fact, using diald (unless I spent large amounts of time redoing the config files) would be more expensive than pon/poff, since on my local phone bill I pay a fixed rate per call, and my ISP charges me a flat monthly fee. Having my connection go up and down frequently could get very expensive. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
