== About ==

WvDial is a program that makes it easy to connect your Linux workstation to the
Internet. It will automatically detect your modem, and it can log into almost
any Internet provider's server without any special configuration.

You may download the latest official release of !WvDial at DownloadReleases. For
the latest bleeding edge development (and complete development history), see
[wlach]'s [http://github.com/wlach/wvdial repository] on github.

<b>Please note!</b>

WvDial is a system application for Linux users. If you don't use Unix/Linux, you
may want to look at NITI's all-in-one network gateway, [http://www.nitix.com
Nitix].

WvDial requires WvStreams. If you are compiling it, please make sure that you
have WvStreams installed first (both the Shared Library and the Development
package).

If you have any problems using WvDial, you may contact us on the appropriate
MailingList.
