[Sheflug] Wvdial

[Richard Ibbotson <richard [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Looks like my brain seems to have blown a fuse whilst trying to get 
packets to move across from my Debian laptop to the internet through 
my mobile phone via the Irda interface.

Connects fine without a problem but can't ping anything on the net.  
Suggests I've put the wrong value in somewhere but can't find a man 
page that gives a clue.  I don't use wvdial more than once a year and 
so I'm not all that good with it.

Can anyone make a suggestion ?  Modem is /etc/ircomm0.  Some info 
below...
