'defaultroute' instructs diald to set up a default route in the kernel
routing tables for diald's interface viz. sl0. Do /sbin/route -n before
and after you start diald to see the difference. 'noipdefault' is a pppd
option that will most likely conflict with the diald's 'dyanamic' option.
I suggest modularize your existing (working) ppp scripts to
1) a chat dialer script with no mention of pppd or it's options at all plus
keep /etc/ppp/options file empty,
2) For manual pppd invocation write another script to invoke pppd with all
it's options in a command line fashion, plus script in 1 above for chat
functionality.
3) create/modify /etc/diald.conf per the man page for diald i.e. any
specific pppd options given as pppd-options. Also read the pppd-options
section carefully and do not invoke pppd options that would conflict with
diald's equivalent options. For the connect chat script use item 1.
