[Bug 400573] Re: [include in live-cd] wvdial (1.60.1+nmu2)

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Have things improved since?

These days, I find that Mifi dongles are popular and that most mobile
phones are able to tether internet via Bluetooth, USB, or direct Wi-Fi
connection. I also found that network-manager applet was sufficient
enough to connect to the internet for me.

Currently, I do not believe that we have enough developers who rely on
such an internet connection, and thus we cannot adequately support this
package and I would like to propose to move this package back into the
universe.

Regards,

Dimitri.
