I do not understand the output from ps, while running diald.

The germane lines from running 'ps afxw' are:
...
1418  ?     S     0:00   /usr/sbin/diald
1443  S1  S     0:00     \- /usr/sbin/pppd -detach modem crtscts mtu 1500 mru 1500 netmask 255.255.255.0 noipdefault
...

However, given my diald.conf setup, I expect the 1443 line to read something like:

1443  S1  S     0:00     \- /usr/sbin/pppd modem crtscts /dev/ttyS1 115200 defaultroute asyncmap 0xa0000 passive netmask 255.255.255.0 noipdefault connect /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer

I recently upgraded to ppp-2.3.7 from ppp-2.3.3, and subsequently notice a bootup message that says something about ppp demand dialing. That message notwithstanding, the ps output seems to indicate that ppp is running at diald's behest. What gives?

Here's my diald.conf:
# diald configuration

include /etc/diald/my.filter
#

# debug 31 # uncomment this line for detailed packet rule messages
# use "/usr/sbin/diald debug 31 -daemon" on command line for foreground
