Hi Ken,
I am new to diald and to this mailing list but reading through all the
recent mail it seems Redhat 6.0 and diald don't exactly work together. I
tried diald using the latest rpm version and it gives all sorts of
problems, including the process dying out for no reason. However, I tried
using the latest pppd on Redhat 6.0 which has demand dialing. I just
inserted the word "demand" in my existing ppp options file and viola it
worked the first time. There were some additional options which you may
need depending on how the IP addresses are allocated by your ISP and the
timeout durations but they are explained in the new pppd man page. As I
only had a day to try it out I have not found any bugs to report. Only
minor problem is that when I first fire up pppd, it connects to my ISP. I
then wait for it to time out, after which it waits for a demand from you.
Try a telnet and it fires up again !
Has anyone else given it a try or have any comments about this approach?
Hope it helps.
Regards
Rajiv
