OK, so I'm new at this (but doing quite well on my own, up til now). I have
diald working, kindof. It dials on demand, per requests from any of my 3
win 98 machines. Problem is, it also seems to dial on its own, seemingly
whenever it feels like it. Must one of the computers be looking for
something online without my knowing it? I've tried turning off all the win
machines, and that seems to stop the problem. But i can't trace what's
making the request for dial up. Any Ideas?
Secondly, I've been starting up diald just by typing in 'diald' as root, and
that's been working (except for the problem noted above. How do I get it to
load on boot? I put copied diald.init file out of /usr/doc/diald-..., and
into /etc/rc.d/init.d, but that doesn't seem to do it. Any help is so so
appreciated.
Best
