I currently use 'dip' to connect to my ISP, which I invoke manually
when needed. I'm now interested in using diald to connect as and when
necessary, but all of the examples I've seen seem to use 'chat', not
'dip'.
Could somebody give me an idea of how to use my existing method of
connection alongside 'diald' ? (Really simple will do, as I can trawl
through the filters later)
System is based upon Redhat 5.2 with kernel 2.0.36
Cheers,
Charlie
