Thanks again.

Kirk,
I forgot to mention in my last post, in order to use chap with diald,
you
simply have to edit your /etc/ppp/options.ttySx, and your chap-secrets
file
to utilize chap and diald with your ISP. (see diald man page under
heading
COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS, paragraph 5 (the last paragraph of the section))
In sum, the pppd command does not go in your connect script, since
it's
diald's job to execute pppd, not the script's. This is most likely the
reason why diald fails with a ppp-on script. You should be using the
standard connect script. Diald has no direct connection with chap. The
question of whether chap is to be used is specified in the
/etc/ppp/options.ttySx file. When diald executes pppd, the options.ttySx
file and the chap-secrets file are read to determine the status for chap.
I hope this makes sense,
Kenneth Persing

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.
