Ah, diald. Wonderful program. Of course, it is accurately self-described
as a "monstrous example of creeping featurism", but still a wonderful program.

I find wvdial(1) works very well. Try
connect "/usr/bin/wvdial --chat"
as your diald.conf "connect" command.
wvdial(1), in case you or someone else does not know, is a program similar
in purpose to the chat(8) program often used to login to an ISP's terminal
server. Unlike chat(8), however, wvdial(1) needs no script; it watches for
familiar things in the input stream and makes reasonably good guesses about
what to send in response. It makes chat(8) obsolete for this sort of thing,
and I for one am not sorry to see it go. :-)
