what do you mean by the system working when you connect manually? do you
mean you have a script that starts pppd and connects you or that you
dial with minicom and then start pppd?
if you are able to run a script that starts pppd (dials, connects, etc)
then you are almost there. take a look at /var/log/messages and
/var/log/debug and see what they say. you may want to add the options
"debug" and possibly "kdebug 7" to your diald config file (be warned
kdebug 7 produces a lot of output)
