I've been using wvdial for many years.
This command enabled it to be run as user:
chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppd
I just did not have Debian at that time, so I can't check this.
Not 100% sure

You need to be in "dialout" to run programs such as Minicom that connect to
serial ports. The names "dip" and "dialout" are of historic significance
only.

Try gpppon. It is essentially a GUI wrapper around pon and poff.
Configure PPP with pppconfig.

Hello. Is there a graphical application for achieving a dial-up connection for
xfce? I don't wish to use kppp, or gnome-ppp.
I've used wvdial, but I find it only works as root. As a regular user it

You can try two things:
1. I think MSN needs a "MSN/" prefixed to the username, i.e. MSN/username
2. Try adding "debug" to the /etc/ppp/peers/whatever file, then post

Rename /etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot to /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot . Ppp will then
come up when you boot.
Ok, tried this and no joy. Any other ideas? When I run
fetchmail-up from root's home dir, it seems to work (at least it dials
ok). Perhaps the problem is the order in which things are started. How
can I set things up to be sure that diald has been started before
fetchmail-up runs.

OK, I'm a super newbie at Linux. I have it installed, and tried to set up a
PPP dial up threw an external modem. I think I am correct in using
/dev/ttys2 as my modem on port 3.
When I go to establish a connection it says "System lacks PPP kernel
support" Either I messed up the install, or I am miss
