Keith and others,
Got the same problem. My main advantage is I'm the ISP so I can watch
both sides of the connection process. It looks more and more like there
is a handoff problem from diald to pppd. Logon works ppp starts on both
ends then it just plain shuts down. Here's a snip of the messages file on
the host.
Sep 15 10:49:31 altoplanos pppd[31873]: pppd 2.2.0 started by xxx, uid nnn
Sep 15 10:49:31 altoplanos pppd[31873]: Using interface ppp3
Sep 15 10:49:31 altoplanos pppd[31873]: Connect: ppp3 <--> /dev/ttyC0

(Can't get a snippit from the client system since it's not connected to
our internal network.)
The system I'm setting up and connecting to is a little more old
fashion. No PAP, CHAP or similar stuff (CR*P ;-). Plain old UNIX login;
username and password. I do have the user set up to start pppd instead
of a shell. This works fine with a simple 'ifup ppp0'.
There has to be something in diald.conf I've missed adding. It's an out
of the box (diald-0.16.5-201.i386.rpm & diald-config-0.16.5-201.i386.rpm)
setup without any real changes except to make the number, username, and
password correct.
Too bad this Linux stuff is such a moving target. I've got other systems
(RedHat 5.0 and diald 16.4) working but it's been too long ago. _Last
month is a long time ago for me_. I forgot how I cobbled things together
and in a weak moment didn't document what I was doing.
I'm hoping RedHat will make diald one of their official/supported RPMs
since when it's working it works great and when it's not we all eat a lot
of asprin and/or drink a lot of not-so-virtual beer.

I'm must getting old. I don't want to know how to do it all.
I just want to get it working and use it.
