I tried the following but it didn't work, I find the diald man page cryptic I regret to say: diald /usr/sbin/pppd connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/suseppp/generic.chat" \ file /etc/suseppp/generic.options Don't quite know what I am doing wrong here. I find it annoying that suse makes me call my ISP generic, and when I try to call it anything else, it complains. Why is no one in the Unix modem software field capable of designing a fill in the well-documented blanks and it will work script for connecting to ISPs? Hans Hans Reiser wrote:

I am using SUSE 5.2.

When I configured PPP I checked the box for diald. Now, when I boot, it complains about not being able to find some diald config file, and it doesn't do what I had hoped diald would do. How do I configure diald? Is there some step I was supposed to go through in YAST? I just want the damn thing to hang up the phone if I am idle for 30 minutes so my ISP bill doesn't explode on me....
