WVDIALCONF(1)							WVDIALCONF(1)



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 ini-
       tialization string and generates or updates the	wvdial(1)  configura-
       tion 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 .

       Also, there is now a mailing list for discussion about wvdial.  If you
       are having problems, or have anything else  to  say,  send  e-mail  to
       .


DIAGNOSTICS
       An exit status of 0 means that a modem was detected and the configura-
       tion file was updated successfully.

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