Keith,
Thank you for the offer. If I'm still having trouble, I may take you up
on your offer in a day or two. I tried modifying the example scripts
that came with diald, but I couldn't get those to work. Anyway, thanks
for the info.

Everyone seems to have their own way of setting up diald and ppp. Your
scripts are
a lot different then mine. If you look in the man page for diald it says
not
use modem, crtscts and a bunch of other things. This may be what is
screwing
up diald. If you can't get it working I can send you my scripts and you
can
just modifiy them for yourself, that usually works.
