I want dial-on-demand during non-business hours, but I also want the link always up during business hours. I understand that pppd can now do on demand dialing, but will it also do a scheduled link? With diald I can force the link up in the morning during the week and then let it go back to on-demand at the end of the business day.
Is this also possible in pppd? BTW, I also figured out that the configuration files from pppd.lrp were conflicting with the configuration files from diald. When I extracted only chat and pppd from the pppd.lrp file and then added them to the diald package, everything started working.

Why do you need diald? Recent versions of pppd support dial-on-demand. If my experience is any guide, get pppd working, then try diald if needed. -Richard > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Mark Lubratt > Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 11:04 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Leaf-user] pppd timing out. > > > Hi! > > I've been banging my head against a wall for about 3 days > now.
