Thanks Jan. IMHO, the best solution suggested has been wmifs. It works
remarkably well to solve my problem which was that wvdial starts pppd 
before password verification with my ISP is complete and does not kill
the daemon if verification fails. May I also say that I have enjoyed the
quick responses and discussions with Antoine at Window Maker (Sorry,
delated the e-mail with your last name Antoine!).
