Diald doesn't "know" to launch chat because you might want to/have
to use a different program to handle your login sequence. Furthermore,
there's no standard chat script file to call, so you need to pass that as
well. The only command that diald doesn't have to be explicitly told to
call is pppd. Put a connect line in your diald.conf file with the necessary
chat command and parameters, like the example you give in your post.
Without this argument, diald will likely assume that it doesn't have to do
anything special before attempting to establish the PPP session.

Subject: won't launch chat
For some reason my diald says that it is attempting to dial out when
traffic
is detected, but it never launches the chat script. Rather it just
times
the script out and attempts to redial which repeats ad infinitum.
Maybe I am not putting: connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f
/etc/ppp/chatscripts/diald.chat" in my diald.conf
I've been leaving out the chat command thinking that diald would
know to
launch chat...was I run and DO have to put the chat command on the
line too?
