Description Pierre Thibaudeau 2005-01-31 16:38:24 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

Description of problem:
For a while now, the procedure to connect to Compuserve "Classic" has
changed a little. At the "User ID:" promt the answer should now be

   <user-id>/noint/ppp:cisppp

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wvdial-1.54.0-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a Compuserve connexion with system-config-network;
2. Replace "Stupid Mode" by "Compuserve" in /etc/wvdial.conf;
3. Activate the interface.

Actual Results:  After validating the password, the CIS host responds with

   Requested page not found.  Key T for top!

and ppp does not start

Expected Results:  Should start ppp.

Additional info:

Here's a patch to wvdialbrain.cc to resolve the problem:

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Thanks for report and sorry for so long time without the fix applied. I missed
that bugzilla somehow when I got the package few months ago. Built as
wvdial-1.60-5.fc9 , closing RAWHIDE.
