philip mentioned in a reply in the linuxers 769th vol that it is possible to have separate configuration files for wvdial. also that wvdial can run thru "consolehelper" so that it doesn't require root previledges.
my doubts are 1. what is "consolehelper" 2. how can i use it to connect to the net w/o root previledges so that i can allow my younger brother to connect to the net w/o giving him the root passwd
thanks 4 all the help

I mentioned that there's no reason it should not be possible. Someone will still have to write code to make it possible.
my doubts are
- what is "consolehelper"
man consolehelper
- how can i use it to connect to the net w/o root previledges
search the lug archives. I've posted full instructions some months ago: http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/search/linuxers/
Although, it may be better to just use wvdial as the chat program for pppd. ie, tell pppd to spawn wvdial for dialing instead of the other way around.
