I agree .. but as per freshmeat.net the project wvdial has Homepage: http://open.nit.ca/wvdial/ Tar/GZ: http://open.nit.ca/download/wvdial-1.53.tar.gz Changelog: http://open.nit.ca/wvdial/CHANGES and this is where I downloaded wvdial first time in a README published there is says can get a transcript like this: wvdialconf /dev/null ------------------------- I tried this again in my RedHat Linux 7.1 today. It is working okay. ie the detection completes and wvdialconf exits. but on the RedHat 8.0 after the detection is complete wvdialconf reports that it has written the configuration to /dev/null. currently I have no option to see the long listing of /dev/null in RedHat 8.0, if any of the listers would help me by providing that I would be happy. this is for RH 7.1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Mar 24 2001 /dev/null ---------------------- any way man null shows DESCRIPTION Data written on a null or zero special file is discarded. so wvdialconf /dev/null should not overwrite /dev/null with a config file am I right? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
