DNS timeout seems o.k.

Unfortunately not had much time to pursue things this weekend. Will try and do
more this week.
Unfortunately, the config files for the SUSE .14 rpm and RedHat .16-5 rpm seem
to have a different format and diald .16-5 does not start without errors with
the .14 config files.
The diald-0.16.5-201.i386.rpm is at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/manhattan/
i386/ and is dated 1st June. There is no source RPM in the contrib/SRPMS
directory. The latest .16.5 source from the diald web site does not compile
out of the box on RedHat 5.1 - not yet hacked the source for it to do so.
My next steps will be to re-install the latest diald's and hack the config to
produce as verbose debugging info as possible (diald and pppd) If I can find
out where the holdup happens I will let you know.
Thanks for your help so far!
