Kppp, wvdial & pppconfig

[Ray Burke]

Nils,

I dont understand why need group if when I use a terminal window and type
sudo wvdial it connects to my isp at 11500 kbps and to disconnect I type in
same window cnrl c, as all I want is to know how long online and amount
of data is exchanged, and this is done by kppp or ppp????????
but when I use these it only connects at 56kbps
