Hello. Is there a graphical application for achieving a dial-up connection for xfce? I don't wish to use kppp, or gnome-ppp.

I saw you on xfce list... but couldn't come up with a thing to
help. its amazing how much text affects these things.


I've used wvdial, but I find it only works as root. As a regular user it states that it cannot access pppd, instructing me to check my permissions. I've checked, and regular users have read permission, with the program being labelled executable. Does it need write permission?

what group is pppd? I think you can just add yourself to the dialout
group.
