Hi,
This is known problem (to me, at least.) When the connection
established, diald-0.99 will ifconfig sl0 to 0.0.0.0 instead of just
down it. Someone from this list said that this makes 2.0.x kernel
confuse and fail to communication with LAN.
To work around it, just apply this patch:

path_ifconfig, iface);
run_shell(SHELL_WAIT, desc, buf, -1);
}
- 8< ----------
Warning: You'll receive error message something like 'sl0 xmit when
interface is down' when the line is broken and diald is trying to
establish the connection. But I think it's no harm, just annoying. Can
someone fix this?
PS. My config: Slackware 3.6, Kernel 2.0.37, diald 0.99, pppd 2.2.0f,
14.4 kbps modem, dynamic IP.
HTH,
Joke.
