Description: intelligent Point-to-Point Protocol dialer
WvDial sacrifices some of the flexibility of programs like "chat" in
order to make dialup configuration easier. With WvDial, modems are
detected automatically and only three additional parameters are
required: the telephone number, username, and password. WvDial knows
enough to dial with most modems and log in to most servers without any
other help.
.
In particular, a "chat script" is not required to handle the most common
situations.
