It's amazing! It's your wildest dream come true! Dialup networking for Linux that doesn't require chat scripts! Okay, so maybe you're not as excited as I am, but we at Worldvisions hopethis will brighten up your week. WvDial is our attempt to make the previously rather complicated configuration of Linux dial-up networking as simple as phone number - username - password.
Actually we have loftier goals in mind for what we call the "Worldvisions Weaver" project, and that's where WvDial comes from. WvDial and its supporting libraries are the first components of the Weaver system that we are releasing for free (under the LGPL; see below). The rest of Weaver will
probably be released for free eventually, but to maintain our competitive edge (and also save our programmers from looking silly) we're keeping the rest to ourselves for now. No promises about that.
But that doesn't stop you from having fun right now! WvDial is and will remain totally free, and we hope that all Linux distributions will try to integrate it and help make Linux (even more of) a killer Internet workstation.
