"z" And Linux Dialing

[gpetroui]

Hi!
The reason I gave to my wife for buying the "Z" was so that I could use it to call into work when I am on call.. Problem though.. I havent bought a CF modem yet but, I think I am going to have the same problem I have with Linux. When I dial into work, I dont have a constant password as such, I have a secure ID card, whose number changes every few seconds. But all *unix programs I know, you have to put in your password, save the profile and THEN dial.. its not a case of putting in the password, just before you dial.. the pass is part of the dialup profile, you are not prompted for it. In windows, its not a problem, as it always asks. Any linux programs (specially for the Z) that can do this?

Cheers!

I have exactly the same issue.

Is anybody able to help?

Dial-up in Windows lets you specify wether you need to bring the terminal window before ppp is active. I don't see this option on the Zaurus dialer.

Regards,

Juan

Don't put a password in the configuration and it will ask you for one when you connect. This works with the Sharp ROMs anyway.
