Re: [TCLUG:2790] Off-Line browsing with Linux?



I just set up a router for maquerade purposes.  I didn't want to deal with
diald, so I found a program called wvdial.   It does everything just fine.
To dial out on all my other boxes, I just launch telnet.  I'm sure there
must be a better way of doing this, but this way works fine.
