Hmm, ok, I've just written a German manual. Let's rephrase it in english then. Requirements: diald, ppp, pppconfig, slip driver within the kernel Run pppconfig to set up your ppp configuration for use with pon/poff. If that runs, go ahead and take a look at diald. For some reason there is one file missing in /etc/diald/ which is diald.conf. But: There is a proper example in /usr/doc/diald/examples. Just uncompiress it: zcat /usr/doc/diald/examples/diald.options.gz > /etc/diald/diald.options and edit it. For DynIP with PPP change the local and remote addresses to something else, e.g. like: local 192.168.0.1 remote 192.168.0.2 You'll have to add the username for ppp as extracted from /etc/ppp/peers/provider pppd-options noauth user <benutzername> And you'll have to exchange the connect/disconnect command like: connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider" disconnect "/usr/bin/poff provider" Now restart diald with sh /etc/init.d/diald restart I hope it works. :) Regards, Joey PS: I wonder if there are problems with diald 0.16.5 and Linux kernel 2.2.x -- Never trust an operating system you don't have source for!
