Hope someone has some insight into the problem. Diald is not allowing the routing to go through and I'm running out of ideas. Here's the scoop. The system is RedHat 5.2 (2.00.36) PPPd seems to work okay if it's fired up manually. The routing works and both the Linux box and the systems behind it are getting through just fine. When diald is started, the connection works okay. At least it seems to but since it won't stay up for more than 30 seconds there may be other problems. Traffic is detected and the modem dials out and successfully connects. The problem seems to be in the fact that diald is blocking pppd from entering the new default route into the table. I don't know how to correct that. Here are the routing tables at various times. Before ppp is up Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.52.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 5 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo After ppp is up Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 216.119.112.13 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.52.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 6 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 216.119.112.13 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 1 ppp0 After diald is started and before ppp is up.

They're not included here for the sake of brevity. diald.conf is straight forward: accounting-log /var/diald/log mode ppp dynamic local 192.168.52.194 remote 216.119.112.13 defaultroute reroute device /dev/ttyS1 connect /etc/ppp/scripts/ppp-on modem speed 115200 lock crtscts include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter The ppp options file is empty. It doesn't seem to matter what goes in there. The PPP_ALONE flag has been implemented to no avail. Anything else to check? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
