Wvdial.conf
When WvDial starts, it first loads its configuration from /etc/wvdial.conf. The configuration file /etc/wvdial.conf is the equivalent to the Windows "ini" file format, with sections named in square brackets and a number of variable = value pairs within each section.
Here is a sample configuration file:
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Baud = 460800 Init = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ISDN = 0 Modem Type = USB Modem Phone = #777 Username = internet Password = internet stupid mode = 1This example that uses Init3 to turn the modem's speaker off. The default is "ATZ" for Init(1).
When WvDial is in Stupid Mode, it does not attempt to interpret any prompts from the terminal server. It starts pppd immediately after the modem connects. Apparently there are ISP's that actually give you a login prompt, but work only if you start PPP, rather than logging in.
