SLIP and PPP are loaded into the kernel of RedHat as modules and are
therefore supported automatically (unless you did a re-compile and left
them out).
The diald rpm does in fact use a slightly different directory structure,
though you should be able to track them the same way. The last time I
installed it off of rpm, it stuck the files in /etc/diald so all of them
should be in there. The only complication I ran into is that the rpm put
the script "connect" in the /etc/diald directory and the default/example
diald.conf file told it to look in the /etc director (or was it the other
way around). Anyway, if you modify the default/example scripts, you
should be up and running in no time since they are fairly well documented
(internal documentation within the scripts themselves) and easy to
understand.
Good Luck!
peace favor your sword

Subject: SLIP setup for diald
Problem: documentation for diald states that SLIP
must be compiled into the kernel. It does not go
on to state whether any action must be taken to
establish any kind of SLIP device or whether it
just needs to have SLIP available and everything
else is internalized.
Also, is there any other HOW-TOs available for
diald. I have downloaded and installed the RH
rpm, but the one mini HOW-TO seems to use another
completely different set of file names in other
locations. Any direction appreciated as always -
specific answers not necessarily needed, but what
to read and where to get it is certainly of major
help.
TIA
