Thanks. I wasn't sure what the exact problem was. A couple of things I
have noticed are that I get the following error message when I first
start diald (which is version 0.98.2, the latest Debian Linux provides):

Jun  6 12:07:55 debian kernel: diald uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET)

I read in the changelog that version 0.98.3 fixes incompatibilities with
Glibc 2.1, which I have, so I am going to try compiling a newer version.

I use ip masquerading with a win 95 machine. Sometimes, when using pppd
by itself, I get the following message, but never with diald:

Jun  6 09:10:19 debian kernel: IP_MASQ:ip_fw_masquerade(): change
masq.addr from 199.2.132.98 to 199.2.132.135 

This suggests to me that the local IP address is updated for pppd alone
and not diald.
