Peter,
Are you running KDE or are you trying to have some sort of process running in the
background??
I use KDE with it's kppp dialer with my ISDN BitSurfer PRO modem. All I did was treat
it as if it were a "normal"
modem, no special init strings, no fancy scripts, etc. All I did was point to the com
port it was plugged into and off
it went.
I have yet to configure a diald usage so can't help you there.
Good luck,
