Thanks Ken.. Changed it to a simple chat script on the pppd-options line,
made diald's chat script run nothing but "exit 0", and all is well.

Subject: RE: A strange story between RedHat 5.1 & Diald
I've had this problem since I first started using diald. No one
seems to be able to help but it seems to have something to do with the port
blocking when two processes try to open it at the same time.
I got around it by removing the chat script from diald and putting
it on pppd. Works fine if you can get away with a simple chat script in
place of the fancy program supplied with diald.
Don't have any idea why this happens to some people and not to
others. My setup is RH 5.1 on a 486 with an internal non-PNP modem. I had
the same problem with RH 5.0 and diald from Eric's web site.

It seems many people are having this problem with Redhat 5.1 and
diald, myself included. I've been watching for a few weeks now and
unfortunately haven't heard any fixes for it tho.

Dear Dialders,
I'm trying to setup the RPM version of diald
(diald-0.16.5-201.i386.rpm) on
my Linuxbox (RH 5.1, kernel 2.0.35). My PPP connection
usually works fine. I
can read in my /var/log/messages something like that:
pppd[1159]: pppd 2.3.3 started by root, uid 0
pppd[1159]: Serial connection established.
pppd[1159]: Using interface ppp0
pppd[1159]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1
pppd[1159]: Warning - secret file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets has

pppd[1159]: Warning - secret file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets has

pppd[1159]: Remote message:
pppd[1159]: local IP address 195.68.2.91
pppd[1159]: remote IP address 195.68.2.6
But pppd freezes when it's launched by Diald:
diald[987]: Running connect (pid = 1001).

Killing pppd.
Please, help me !
Best
