Please forgive me if this has been asked 10,000 times before - I can't
find an answer using on-line resources. I'm having difficulty establishing
an on-demand modem dialout to my ISP.
pppd works fine when handled manually, dialing, negotiating and
setting up a defaultroute for my small network.
Using diald is proving to be more of a problem. It appears to load OK
from boot.local, but appears not to work ... specifically, it doesn't
pick up it's role as the default router to the outside - pinging
external addresses whether names or IP numbers just cause lock-up and
time-out.
Starting the diald daemon manually leads to a number of interesting
effects:
From the log:
Dec 19 22:45:57 rusty diald[430]: SIGTERM. Termination request
received.
Dec 19 22:45:57 rusty diald[430]: Diald is dieing with code 0
Dec 19 22:46:45 rusty modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module tap0
... 14 other module error messages (from this out-of-the-box SuSE 6.3
installation and make/install modules doesn't fix it) ...
Dec 19 22:46:45 rusty modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module tap15

looks wrong. Surely there shouldn't be two SLIP entries at the top and
the defaultroute option hasn't engaged properly at the bottom.
I use this command line to set up diald
diald /dev/modem mode ppp connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f
/etc/ppp/demon-on.ppp'\lock modem crtscts defaultroute local "static
IP address" remote "ISP gateway"
I haven't included the script because that works fine under pppd.
Has anyone got any pointers as to what I should be trying at this
point as I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.
