    Thanks.   :)

    I have already worked out "wvdial &" , but "killall wvdial" would be 
useful.
At the moment I am using "ppp-off", which also works (so long as I have 
turned off the Auto Reconnect).

   That would be very useful, for me in particular.    Actually I find wvdial 
easier to set up than eznet.
