You're absolutely right about misconfiguration. I had specified a
script that called pppd as the connect argument in diald.conf. Once I
switched to a script that only ran chat, everything started working
normally. Well, almost everything; RealAudio on my other PC always runs a
TCP session, never UDP. This despite the fact that I have the RealAudio
module loaded (it appears quite plainly when I run lsmod). But that's
another story...

Then you haven't configured it properly.

It's very *wrong* and I'm willing to bet everything is *not*
working normally - you just haven't noticed yet!
