Thanks Todd,
I will change the arguments. but I have NetWorkManager running, but it does not interfere with the connection. There an "eth0", but there is no ethernet cable, I do not bring up the network upon boot. I start a connection with wvdial and then I end the session with CTRL+C.
If I do a ifconfig -a I get something like
root@lcoalhost:~# ifconfig -a

But I get different numbers when connecting. The resolv.conf file is the same all the time

I thought I should turn off NetWorkManager, but since it does not interfere with connection, I left it on. In Fedora 8, I turned it off and Fedora 7 as well. On wired connections from school, I failed to update linux counter with their script even with cron job. I wondered sometimes if it was their server that was down, or fedora that refused to send the message.
Thanks for helping.
Regards,
Antonio
