i tried sending this to the newbie list first, but i would like to hear some responses on this list too since i believe that my problems result from the way that msec is configured on my machine and the responses thus far have been about wvdial.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- I've been using wvdial on my LM8.1 box to connect to my ISP. I've not been able to get a normal user account to be able to use wvdial. I keep on getting the error message "Device or resource busy". I can use it fine if I su to root first. I've tried setting the permissions of the device to rwxrwxrwx, but the permissions always are changed to rwxr-xr-x when i use wvdial. I am pretty sure that msec is changing the permissions of the device when pppd is started. Any idea what changes I need to make to get wvdial to work for a normal user?
