Hey,
Why are you trying to use your ppp-on script from diald anyway? From
what I always understood, you have to use a separate script (i.e., one that
doesn't execute pppd). The execution of pppd is diald's job, not the
script's job.
This part is a total guess, but if you execute pppd in the script,
diald would sit there waiting for the script to finish, so he could execute
pppd. The script wouldn't finish, because it already executed pppd, and it
couldn't end until the pppd process it executed finished. Thus, diald would
cancel the script after it timed out waiting for it to finish, and probably
send some message saying "script failed: timeout" or something to that
effect.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, thanx.

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.
