+WvDial is a program that makes it easy to connect your Linux workstation 
+to the Internet. It will automatically detect your modem, and it can log 
+into almost any Internet provider's server without any special configuration.
+
+This requires wvstreams (which is also available from SlackBuilds.org).

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
