I've had this problem since I first started using diald. No one seems to be
able to help but it seems to have something to do with the port blocking
when two processes try to open it at the same time.
I got around it by removing the chat script from diald and putting it on
pppd. Works fine if you can get away with a simple chat script in place of
the fancy program supplied with diald.
Don't have any idea why this happens to some people and not to others. My
setup is RH 5.1 on a 486 with an internal non-PNP modem. I had the same
problem with RH 5.0 and diald from Eric's web site.

It seems many people are having this problem with Redhat 5.1 and diald,
myself included. I've been watching for a few weeks now and unfortunately
haven't heard any fixes for it tho.

Subject: A strange story between RedHat 5.1 & Diald
Dear Dialders,
I'm trying to setup the RPM version of diald (diald-0.16.5-201.i386.rpm) on
my Linuxbox (RH 5.1, kernel 2.0.35). My PPP connection usually works fine. I
can read in my /var/log/messages something like that:
pppd[1159]: pppd 2.3.3 started by root, uid 0
pppd[1159]: Serial connection established.
pppd[1159]: Using interface ppp0
pppd[1159]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1
pppd[1159]: Warning - secret file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets has world and/or
group access
pppd[1159]: Warning - secret file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets has world and/or

pppd[1159]: Remote message:
pppd[1159]: local IP address 195.68.2.91
pppd[1159]: remote IP address 195.68.2.6
But pppd freezes when it's launched by Diald:
diald[987]: Running connect (pid = 1001).
connect: Initializing Modem
connect: Dialing 0153366720
connect: Protocol started

(60s after) diald[987]: pppd startup timed out. Check your pppd options.
Killing pppd.
Please, help me !
Best
