I am installing diald on slackware 3.5 and I believe I am missing a
step. I have briefly read the documentation and I am hoping to find a
quick and dirty way to install diald. Here is what I have done. What
are the steps I need to make this work?
I have a working ppp connection. I can connect with the line:
/usr/sbin/pppd connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/pppscript"
or I can use
ppp-go
which was configured using pppsetup on my Slackware 3.5
I got the diald tar file, unpacked it and issued the commands:
make depend
make
make install
I looked at the sample diald.conf files by reading the diald-examples
man page and here is what I came up with for /etc/diald.conf (My ISP
uses PAP):
mode ppp
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/pppscript"
device /dev/cua1
speed 115200
modem
lock
crtscts
local 192.168.0.12
remote 192.168.0.20
dynamic
defaultroute
include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
I have a private IP network with the addresses 192.168.1.1 and
192.168.1.2 so it does not look as if these specified addresses would
conflict. Is this correct?
After booting my system I issue the command /usr/sbin/diald. I don't
have it in an rc* file yet. Once I issue a command such as ping
brie.com, it fires up something, blips my modem, connects, and almost
immediately hangs up. What is wrong? I did not make any configuations
to the /usr/lib/diald/connect script. Is this the script I need to
modify to properly connect? How do I need to modify it? It looks as if
it is setup for chat verification. My ISP uses PAP. What rc.* file do
I put the line /usr/sbin/diald in? I take it /usr/sbin/diald would be
the proper command.
TIA
