i've been configuring diald to work with wvdial for a while now and i still can't get it to work. the problem is that i get disconnected after 20 seconds.
Don't use diald, they don't get along. Look here:
Oh but they do get along. Mac used diald to invoke wvdial by itself. Wvdial makes the connection and starts pppd _but_does_not_quit_. Diald sees this as an error, as it should, and kills wvdial. Wvdial than disconnects like it should do. The trick is (with the latest wvdial) to let it be invoked by diald with the switch --chat . Now diald should pipe i/o from wvdial to your serial device. Wvdial makes the connection and quits without dropping the line. At that point diald invokes pppd and all is well. The one thing that didn't make this work for me in the first run was that diald did not pipe the i/o properly (or I did something wrong somewhere I am unaware of / not knowledgable about). So I put in my diald.something the following: connect "wvdial --chat >/dev/modem </dev/modem" This should also make other dialing scripstworking like chat etc. Hope this helps.
