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. basically, my wvdial works - i run it on the command line and i can go online - no problem. however, if i use it with diald, it times out after 20 seconds. the following is my wvdial.conf file: [Dialer Defaults] Username = xxxxxxx Modem = /dev/ttyS0 Password = xxxxxxxxx Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 Tonline = 0 Compuserve = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Phone = ispnumber Baud = 115200 Auto DNS = 1 Stupid Mode = 1 New PPPD = 1 my diald.conf file is as follows: mode ppp connect wvdial device /dev/modem speed 115200 modem lock crtscts local 192.168.0.1 remote 128.135.4.2 dynamic defaultroute include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter /var/log/messages gives me: Jan 12 10:37:34 alpha pppd[1949]: sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x2 <addr 128.135.231.199> <compress VJ 0f 01> <ms-dns1 128.135.12.73> <ms-dns3 128.135.4.2>] Jan 12 10:37:35 alpha pppd[1949]: rcvd [IPCP ConfAck id=0x2 <addr 128.135.231.199> <compress VJ 0f 01> <ms-dns1 128.135.12.73> <ms-dns3 128.135.4.2>] Jan 12 10:37:35 alpha pppd[1949]: local IP address 128.135.231.199 Jan 12 10:37:35 alpha pppd[1949]: remote IP address 128.135.231.1 Jan 12 10:37:35 alpha pppd[1949]: primary DNS address 128.135.12.73 Jan 12 10:37:35 alpha pppd[1949]: secondary DNS address 128.135.4.2 Jan 12 10:37:35 alpha pppd[1949]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up started (pid 1950) Jan 12 10:37:35 alpha ip-up: Modified /etc/resolv.conf for DNS at ppp1 Jan 12 10:37:35 alpha pppd[1949]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid 1950), status = 0x0 Jan 12 10:37:55 alpha diald[1925]: Connect script timed out.
