^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
diald starts pppd for you, so there's no need to start it again
yourself. Instead of having diald call ppp-on, have it call the chat
script directly. If ppp-on contains other commands you'd like to
execute, consider adding them to the chat script or writing a new chat
script.
