I have been trying to get dial on demand going for a couple
of months now. I just can't seem to get anything going.
I tried diald for a while and after a couple of weeks
gave up on that. Then tried the wvdial.dod script from
suse. It didn't work out eighther. So I gave up for a
while.
I just recently started trying it again with the wvdial.dod
script from the german site. But I can't get that working.
What the hell!!?? I had less pain setting up
SAMBA and ipchains.
Can someone help me out? This is starting to suck. I
figure I'm real stupid or something is messed up on my
system. I'm hoping it's the system.
Anyway here is the output of wvdial.dod start:
---------------
root@crow:/sbin/init.d > wvdial.dod start

will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)

Someone please explain what may be causing:
/sbin/wvdial.dod: [: too many arguments
ls: /var/run/ppp?.pid: No such file or directory
What is that ^^^^^^^^ for?
After starting it it will not connect. I can still activate
wvdial myself.
Thank you for any help.
P.S. I was root when trying to run this. I don't know why
it gives the "Not all processes..." line.
