Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package wvdial, which is
part of the comm section, and maintained by Patrick Patterson
<ppatters at debian.org>. 

This package contains : PPP dialer with built-in intelligence.

WvDial sacrifices some of the flexibility of programs like "chat" in order
to make your dialup configuration easier.  When you install this package,
your modem will be detected automatically and you need to specify just
three parameters: the phone number, username, and password.  WvDial knows
enough to dial with most modems and log in to most servers without any
other help.

In particular, you no longer need a "chat script" to handle the most common
situations.
