wvdial stays in the foreground after connecting. either run it witha & on the end if you want to do something else with that window, else open a new window/terminal to run your commands in. at first it seems counter-intuitive but it makes sense once you're used to it. I have a script 'netup' that I use to run it in the background with my normal options. -dave -- | oOOooO / --| oOobodoO / [EMAIL PROTECTED] --| ooOoOo / | II / The wise man tells you where you have fallen | II / and where you may fall - Invaluable secrets.
