I edited my connect setting so that it only calls a chat script, and
everything works now. Diald no longer automatically fails on the first
attempt to connect. Thanks.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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.
