Indeed, I never saw a modem nor ppp, nor diald in my whole life and I configured it in less than two hours. Maybe am I a geek ? In the diald examples directory lives: /usr/doc/diald/examples/bin/connect.gz which is a very good example of chatscript. > Also, I thought all examples lived in /usr/doc/examples; diald's > live in /usr/doc/diald/examples, and there's no sym link in > /usr/doc/examples. The new package format states that examples should be in /usr/doc/<package>/examples. The old format used /usr/doc/examples/<pa ckage>. We still have old packages to be converted... But I admit the manpage is quite confusing on the `connect' command. Phil. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
