3.1 First Run

To run Chestnut Dialer, type in the shell:

     chestnut-dialer -i interface_name

where interface_name is either gtk2 or qt. Then the main window of the program main will appear.

Note: To avoid specifying interface in the command line every time, edit ~/.chestnut-dialer/preferred-ui-X, where ~ stands for the user home directory, X is X11 or console.

To create a new account, click the AccountsConf button, then click the New button. The account editing window will appear. Enter the account name (field Account Name), for example `Provider CoolOnline', in the Dial tab. Then fill out the list of modem pool telephone numbers in the Phone Numbers tab. To do this, enter a number in field "#" and click the Add button. Repeat this operation for each number if you have more than one number. Then enter the user name and password in the Authentication tab. Then click the OK button.

To connect to the provider, select an account from list (click on it) and click the Dial button which is located below. The program will switch to the Connecting mode. After the connection has been established successfully, the main window will show a table with connection parameters. Start your preferred browser and enjoy Internet.

To disconnect, click button Disconnect.
