What are the problems you are having with diald? Which version of diald are you
using? What problems are you having? Post details to me and to the list and
you'll get help.
Diald is the only solution if you want packet filtering, otherwise you have no
control over what can and cannot bring up the link. Diald also lets you set
different timeouts for each packet type.
I never had any real problems with diald-0.15; I had a few with diald-0.99
because of the changes but they are all fixed now (bar one unimportant chat
problem) and it runs just great.
