Yeah i see what you mean but i have no problems with my network. Diald
works but does not alter the routing table accordingly. However when i use
wvdial everything's okay. If wvdial works then the problem must be with
diald. Since diald does dial out when asked to (pinging an external site)
then it's correctly monitoring my network. When diald's up and running
however i can't ping outside. When i make the IP given to me by my ISP to
be the default however i *can* ping outside. Since diald is supposed to
handle this (via the option dynamic) and it's not, what else can i do?
I made copies of the ip-up/down files and modified them to work with diald.
