diald with dynamically assigned IP?
Hi, Has anyone got diald running with an ISP who does not give you a static IP? From what I can see the slip proxy that diald uses requires you to know what address your localhost will be assigned beforehand -- which is tricky if it changes every time you dial up. Has anyone experienced this problem? Thanks in advance, Thomas. Support the Open Source software movement -- join the biggest revolution in computing since the Difference Engine!

Has anyone experienced this problem? The slip proxy can have any ip you want. They are only used to trap the network requests while the net is down anyway. For example, I ahve remote set to 127.0.0.2 and local set to 127.0.0.3 for the proxy. Diald will detect the new ip when you connect and make the needed adjustments (assuming you have configured it right).

On another note, what's the 'right' way to mesh diald with the current ppp from hamm? I was thinking that I'd use the diald connect script to bring the link up, /usr/bin/poff to bring it down. Is there a way to have diald pass the 'noauth' option to pppd without changing the /etc/ppp/options file (which the file warns against)? I suppose the best way is to have diald call /usr/bin/pon as well, but this seems to require some assembly.
