I use pon and poff, and it dials on demand, but it keeps redialing the connection at odd times throughout the day. I haven't figured out how to mute the noise (newbie alert?), so it's annoying. I don't have anything running that I know of to make it keep dialing up at irregular intervals like that.

I should mention that pppd's own dial-on-demand feature seems to work
surprisingly well now.
pon starts up pppd, it hangs around waiting for an outgoing packet, then
dials out.
poff kills off the pppd process, disabling dial-on-demand.
Turns out it's really easy to set up: add one line ('demand') to
/etc/ppp/peers/provider.

When running pppconfig. this option is available under the Advanced
Options section near the end.
If you rename the /etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot file to /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot
then you don't even have to use PON. It will start up at boot time.
Also, some firewall / ipmasq setups that depend upon an external
interface being defined prior to startup will have to be restarted after
the connection via ppp0 is made. The ppp0 interface doesn't exist until
a connection is made. A short script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d can do this
for you automatically.
I used this setup for over 2 years without problems. It was MUCH easier
to setup than diald, IMHO, and worked every bit as well. Yes... I have
used both.

hiya Anyone experienced problems with diald and debian.. is it possible that the paranoid stuff ran at system startup and the icmplogd will cause issues with diald? I have a friend whom is having problems.. any one with it working or had problems could you please email me. Thanks Michael

I am having a problem with diald causing my system to lock up at boot time; don't know if that's related to what your friend is experiencing. It's a Slink system running the 2.0.36 kernel. Symptoms: only happens if it's run at boot and needs to dial out doesn't matter what program causes it to dial out I'm about ready to fetch the source and start digging into it that way. Or maybe just try a kernel upgrade.

Try to make it one as the last step during bootup.

anyone tryed to compile diald under debian?
Hai, I have lots of programming skils under Windows 95/NT. Currently i'm doing my first baby steps under Linux (Debian). Currently all is up and running, but my first chalange is to compile diald (dail up deamon). For my has a baby it's like trying to stand up and wondering about the world of linux! Anyway: I'm getting to following error: if I do a make 'make depend'. I'm getting a lot of warnings. If I do a make, no object file is generated What the hell i'm doing wrong?? Best Regards, Ries van Twisk

Noone can tell, without having the a detailed log available of what you're doing exactly (consider using script(1) to record what you're doing) and what errors/warnings you get. It could for instance be that you haven't installed all the packages necessary for compiling diald. HTH, Ray -- Obsig: developing a new sig
