WvDial (pronounced 'weave-dial'[1] ) is a utility that helps in making modem-based connections to the Internet that is included in some Linux distributions.[2] WvDial is a Point-to-Point Protocol dialer: it dials a modem and starts pppd in order to connect to the Internet.[3] It uses the wvstreams library.[4]
WvDial uses heuristics to guess how to dial and log into a server, alleviating the need to write a login script.[5]
