It is not diald's responsibility to deal with this. It is the ppp
daemon's job to do the actualy negotiation and authentication. The
connect script does the initial setup with the modem. Diald just starts
these processes running and reacts to their output.

You can definately do this (I have done so in the past), but I don't
personally use it currently. Essentially if you have a working setup
using pppd from the command line you put the chat-script part of it into
a file (eg /etc/diald/papconnect) and put the appropriate ppp pap-secrets
and options in you ppp setup (noting that several of these (e.g. device,
speed, lock, modem, crtscts, defaultroute) are superceeded by diald
options), then in diald.conf put
connect /etc/diald/papconnect
mode ppp
Does that help?
