Ok,either download the source plus patch (I think current version is 0.16.5a)or
(simpler if you use RedHat) download the RPMs. I got my RPM from sunsite, but i
think you can get it from contrib.redhat.com (if you can get through)
there were 2 RPMs, I think the names are:
diald-0.16.5a.rpm
and
diald-config-0.16.5a.rpm
Once you install them, there will be a new service called "diald" in rc.d
directory structure. Just activate it with "setup" program (the section that
turns deamons on and off.)
You will also need config file /etc/diald.conf. Samples of this file can be
found in /etc/diald/. The "CONNECT" command in it will normally run the chat
script. Default RH config utilities place chat script in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
In new installs I usually get ppp working first, then install diald.
Oh, yeah, be carefull with routing. Setting this wrong will cause diald to
behave wierdly or, most likely, simply not work.
If you want more details, send me your questions.

Generally I would guess it would depend on the modem and it's settings. But I
would guess that even if modem drops the line because of call waiting, diald
will try calling again.
