The subject line is a bit of a misnomer, as WvDial is already packaged and
available from our web site:
		http://www.worldvisions.ca/wvdial/

However, I'm now actually a Debian developer (I think... well, I have an
account on master) so I can upload the package to the ftp site.

For those who haven't heard, WvDial is an "intelligent" PPP dialer for Linux
that uses heuristics instead of chat scripts.  The success rate has been
nothing short of astonishing. (And I made the thing, I'm supposed to be
optimistic!) Quite a lot of people have written me saying that they never
would have figured out how to get Linux PPP set up on their own, if they
hadn't had this tool.
