hi all,
my present internet connection works fine, however I would like to
get my diad functioning properly. Everytime I activate it; I fail to
make a proper connection to the internet. What needs to be
modified between using ppp-up generic and switching over to diald?
thanks all,
:)

I just setup diald so one of my SuSE boxes could act as a
gateway/firewall for my home network. The first thing I did was copy the
diald.defs and diald.conf example files over to /etc. Those two files
are supplied in the diald doc on the SuSE CDROM. I believe the files
reside somewhere in /usr/doc/packages/diald/examples I think it was.
After that, I used the diald-howto document from the Linux documentation
project as well. Most of the PPP setup as far as the device, connection
speed and all the other stuff that used to be fed to pppd goes into the
diald.conf file since it will be invoking pppd.=20
I had a shell script that I used to use to do my modem dialing invoking
pppd directly and using chat for doing the login. I had to modify it
only to dial and connect to my ISP using chat. There are alot of rules
and other stuff in the supplied diald.conf and diald.defs files in the
package documentation that appear to be needed as I couldn't get diald
to work properly without them.=20
I can forward my diald.conf and connection script file if you're still
having problems with diald. It work very well for my home network
server. I know newer versions of pppd can do the same thing as diald but
so far, all of the commercial distributions of Linux I've tried i.e.
Slackware and SuSE seem to use earlier versions of pppd that don't
support this functionality.=20
