Please fix your line lengths. About 75 characters is ideal.

The difference between wvdial and more usual chatscripts is that wvdial
does the hocus pocus, voodoo and witchcraft itself, rather than expecting
the admin to do it.

Which is all very well, but when someone's standing around casting spells
with *my* personal items, I'd like to know if they're doing a blessing
or a curse.

Reconstructing the analogy to configuration files is left as an exercise
to the reader.

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
