Ah yes. You have the same problem I did when I first set up Diald. Your "dial-on"
script is starting pppd explicitly. This is fine for doing ppp manually but Diald
controls when pppd is kicked in now. You're not missing anything. Actually you
have too much.
Here's what I think you should do:
1) Exchange the connect line in you ppp-options file with the one in your
diald.conf file.
The diald.conf file should contain: connect "/usr/sbin/chat -t 60 -f
/etc/ppp/script"
2) Comment out everything in your options file or just rename the file to something
other than options. This is because pppd will still attempt to implement the
options in the options file if it exists.
If you were able to connect using the /etc/ppp/script manually, Diald should have
no problem.
