Hello Maintainers
I have come across a bug in the processing of the diald.options file.
I am setting up a machine to use ISDN instead of ppp. The
machine uses "mode dev".
I had a line like this in the old config which worked fine:
device /dev/ppp0
I changed it to:
device /dev/ippp0
Diald did not behave well with the ISDN link (which worked fine
without diald). After playing around with log files and debugging etc
I found some lines logging
"/dev/ipp0" (note only 2 p's).
My "addroute" script also broke cause the argument passed with
$1 read ipp0 instead of ippp0. After more digging around I took a
long shot and changed the option file to read:
device ippp0
Then it all started behaving again!
The machine is Debian, "potato" release, running kernel 2.2.15.
The diald is version 0.99.1.
The (debianised?) man page seems a bit vague on this one but my
old config and the sample which comes with debian definitely have
/dev in front of the device name.
Maybe the bug is with the documentation, or with debian.

Ps, you don't know how good diald is until it stops working!
