Is there a newer or older diald that does not have this problem? When diald makes the ppp connection, it is supposed to copy the accumulated outgoing packets waiting in the slip queue to the new ppp interface. It behaves as though those packets just vanish. Now it takes about 45 seconds for my v.90 modem to connect. And bind gives up at about 40 seconds, because it gets no reply from any of the packets it sends at time 0,5,15 or 35 seconds. So, any commands I run while the link is down, all fail. Every command I give after the link is up is just fine. I've tried setting ip_dynaddr to 0, 5, 7 with no effect. I can try the -reroute in diald.conf, but that slows things by 20% says man diald. The dctrl tool does work now, I just wish I could solve the first-command-death problem without using -reroute. I don't see this problem when I use an ISDN modem, because it connects in 5 seconds, before bind stops trying! What am I missing? Doesn't anybody else see this problem? Any tips, incantations, cheating techniques or plain wisdom will be appreciated!
