At least I know that I'm not wasting my time in struggling to get this util to work!
My next posts will be the one's trying to troubleshoot the version of Diald I'm told I need for Kernel 2.0.36:

OK, I had this problem. It's to do with using libc5 and libc6. I'm a bit
vague about this but essentially redhat is set up for libc6 and the 0.16
diald make is expecting libc5.
The simple way to deal with the problem (if using a common machine for
which RPMs are available) is download the rpm compiled for libc6 unpack
it and go.
You can get it from sunsite, my nearest mirror being:
ftp://sunsite.doc.ac.ic.uk/pub/Mirrors/contrib.redhat.com/libc6/i386/diald16-0.16.5a-2.i386.rpm
---------------------------------------------------------
During my struggles with the above, I wonder whether I should be using an RPM for Diald V99? Is there such a thing as an RPM for v99? Or due to my ignorance; is the above the same thing?
