I am hoping this is pretty basic stuff to some of your pro's. I am really new at this and any help would be greatly appreciated !! I am trying to get diald up and running. All is well on my network and IP masquerading is working fine. I installed the RPM versions of diald including the config rpm. The RPMS were diald-0.16.4-1.i386.rpm and diald-config-0.16.5a-1386.rpm. I installed both of these onto my Linux (Mandrake 5.3 distribution)machine. I am using the 2.2.7 kernel and I recompiled it. I did add PPP and SLIP support. My diald.config file is in the /etc directory and it reads: fifo /etc/diald/diald.ctl mode ppp connect "sh /etc/ppp/connect" device /dev/cua1 speed 115200 modem lock crtscts local 10.0.0.20 remote 10.0.0.20 dynamic redial-timeout 5 # kill-timeout 240 defaultroute # proxyarp # strict-forwarding # mtu 1024 # mru 2048 # window 2048 pppd-options asyncmap 0 include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter My connect file is exactly as it came from the RPM excpet I added the phone number, username and password. If I understand correctly, you execute the diald command in the /usr/sbin directory ?? I try to do this and I get a message that says /usr/sbin/diald: No such file or directory. Even though I can see the file in that folder. I really dont know where to begin diagnosing this. I did try a connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatfile" thinking maybe this would force the modem, but had not luck. It returned a line showing my modem string and just sat there. As I mentioned above. ANY help would be appreciated.
