## Configuring Dialup networks

From the Kwlan main window select the dialup network tab and choose to edit or add a dialup network.

Here you can configure all neccessary settings to connect to a dialup network.

In the modem init string, you can type in special commands to configure your modem. If you need to use special characters like ", you need to escape them, i.e. \42 for ". Depending on the connection type you choose, not all fields may be available.

Be aware that the password is stored in plain text in the configuration file if you choose to remember it!

If you need a script to be started after successfull connection or before disconnection, this is the right place to define it. You could, for example, connect to a vpn network as soon as you have a connection established.

If you select to use root rights, you will be prompted for the root password (or your password, if you use sudo) to start the script.
