Should I just create it, or is there a program which will create it automatically? Does wvdial have a setting which will do that? I tried using system-config-network but unfortunately, the setup is for very specific ISP's in very specific set of countries so is not of much use. Also, I am using slmodem which creates a soft link to /dev/ttySL1 (or is it 0?) and that is not in the list of devices. Any help?
