I did the same thing. Even that wasn't working though, so I decided to
examine the diald source code a bit and found that the addroute script is
run immediately after diald attempts to add defaultroute. So I made that
script and still it wasn't working. I had been examining the routing
table closely while also studying the output of 'ps axf' and it kind of
looked like it worked when not running at the same time as all the other
scripts, so I put a 'sleep 2' just before the 'route add default gw ...'
and now it succeeds _every_ time. whoop!
Here's my addroute script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# <iface> <netmask> <local-ip> <remote-ip> <metric>
echo "$@" > /tmp/defaultroute.out
if [ "$1" = "ppp0" ]; then
sleep 2
/sbin/route add default gw "$4" metric "$5" netmask "$2" dev "$1"

I don't even know how to check if this is true. Can you tell me a little
about what the 'hdparm -u1 <drive>' command does? Sounds interesting. I
do use an old IDE drive (800MB). dma is Greek to me.

I'm running a script that checks to see if my dsl link is up and switches
automatically between dsl and diald. That's a bit of a resource hog. I'm
also running sendmail as a proxy email server. syslogd seems to be very
active. Generally I don't have much trouble with resources though.
