I have my ppp connection working wonderfully via the package pppconfig. I assumed that I could use the '/usr/bin/pon' command with diald.
Here's what happens if I look at diald when it is initiating a connection via looking at /var/log/ppp.log: It starts /usr/bin/pon just fine. This succeeds in connecting. However, when the 'connect-timeout' in diald.conf is reached, dial terminates the script /usr/bin/pon, and then proceeds to terminate the ppp connection. I know that /usr/bin/pon has a good connection because I am hot to the internet inbetween the time the connection is made and diald goes through the silly 'connect-timeout' sequence above. Should the /usr/bin/pon script be outputting something to diald's fifo pipe (like CONNECT) in order for it to recognize a good connection ? Help ? Thanks ! Geoff Brimhall
