My original message is below, but I still haven't found out how to
do it, though there is at least one other person who is interested
in getting information back from diald.

Someone mentioned diald-top.  I read the manpage (I couldn't install
it because I was missing some ncurses stuff, but anyway...) and it
leads me to believe that it won't provide me anything over kludges
involving parsing the output of a netstat -rn, which is what I'm
trying to avoid.

So my question still stands- Can you get status from a running copy
of diald, and if so, how?
