GtkDial

The Preferences Window

Many of the features of Gtkdial are configurable via the Preferences Dialog (accessed via the Settings... menu):

General Preferences

Start Gtkdial in Single Service Mode
This option will start Gtkdial with only the primary ISP available for dialing. This is assumed to be the first ISP in the /etc/wvdial.conf file. The main window will change accordingly. This setting will not take effect until Gtkdial is restarted.
Disable audio connection alerts
By default, Gtkdial will play an annoying sound on successful connect/disconnect. Currently this is a silly noise, but it may change in future releases. If you don't want to hear this, selecting this will disable the alerts from the next time you start Gtkdial.
Close window after connect/kill
This option takes effect immediately, and will dismiss the window on a successful connection or disconnection. Useful if you use one of the free ISPs where multiple dialins are required to get a connection: wvdial will continuously retry a connection, and the Gtkdial window will disappear when finally PPP comes up!
Show connection debugging window
A small text box will be appended to the main window which will display the output of the spawned wvdial process. Note that if Gtkdial is started with this option when a connection is already active, it will not display debugging information until the next new connection is started.
