Has anyone seen wvdial start up and eat the cpu?? I don't know how it started, but there it was, according to top. I use network mangler to fire up the POS modem. Beats the heck outa me. wvdial is one of the old standbys. But since I can't abide something launching itself, rpm -e handled it just fine.
