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?
