Thanks Dennis, but perhaps I should clarify my original post. By internet dialer, I assume you are referring to kppp which I have got and use for connecting to the internet. However, as Guy appears to realise, what I am looking for is a programme that will dial, and perhaps even save, telephone numbers for voice calls. kppp seems to have no facility for this, not that there's any reason why it should. Does wvdial do this, or is it an alternative internet connection program? -- Graham Watkins For me, morning begins when I realize that the soft warm body curled up next to me is a cat.
