Demand dialing is now built into pppd, so diald isn't as necessary as it was in the past. I've been told that there is some additional control that can be had with diald, but I've found pppd with demand dialing to be sufficient. A set of articles that will get it setup is available at http://www.mandrakeuser.org, and the page specifically about demand dialing at http://www.mandrakeuser.org/connect/cppp4.html
