I have dialup access to the internet. I'm currently using
gnome-ppp (a front-end for wvdial). I'm wondering if it is
possible to set it up so that it automatically connects to the
internet when I open the browser, as opposed to me having to open
the gnome-ppp program manually.

Install pppconfig and run it as root. Answer the questions. In
"Properties" select "Advanced" and then "Demand". Follow
instructions.


Thanks. That sort of works when I use pon.
