Hi,
I've been hacking away at getting diald 0.99-3 to work on my RH 6.0 system.
I started with a working manually invoked ppp connection to my ISP.
I have a note and two questions about diald which is now _almost_ working.
First the note:
I copied the following line from /etc/ppp/options:
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0"
To my /etc/diald.conf file as my connect script.
However, I discovered that I had to comment it out of the /etc/ppp/options file
to prevent diald from trying to log in twice.
I this because normally ppp was intended to be invoked the the -connect
argument on the command line? If so, I guess I understand this, it just
took me a while to figure it out.
Well I now have diald so that it will create a connection when it
is supposed to... but I get tons of errors on the ppp connection that
I do not get when I connect with with pppd.

Feb 6 21:52:01 hostname pppd[2793]: Protocol-Reject for unsupported protocol 0x5072
etc... thousands of these. Does anyone know what protocols: 0x5072 and 0x7263 are?
and how to prevent these? I figure I get this text because I had pppd running in
debug mode, but I wanted to know what it was rejecting.
I also get the following error on diald startup which I do not understand, but which
seems to be harmless.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

#linux-diald: The Windows Machines are causing the Link to be brought up due
#linux-diald: to that they are trying to use DNS for NETBIOS Name Resolution.
#linux-diald: This is a little quirk with Windows Networking. With WinNT
#linux-diald: Systems you can easily disable this by TCP/IP Protocol Network
#linux-diald: Control Panel Dialog Setting related to WINS Addressing. With
#linux-diald: Win9x Systems it is a little trickier in that you must modify a Registry
#linux-diald: Setting. Attached is a Registry Edit Macro File which will change
#linux-diald: the DNS Enable. Note, once this Macro is run, it will appear
#linux-diald: that all DNS functionality is disabled when you look at the Networking
#linux-diald: Control Panel DNS Dialogue -- this is not the case, only DNS related
#linux-diald: to NETBIOS Name Resolution is disabled. If you need to perform
#linux-diald: further DNS Edits (such as add DNS Servers), then enable DNS
#linux-diald: from the DNS Dialogue, perform changes, save, and then reapply
#linux-diald: the Registry Macro.

#linux-diald: In addition to the above, you may want to filter all NETBIOS traffic
#linux-diald: from causing DIALD from activating the Link. Below are the filter
#linux-diald: rules you will need to add to your filter file:
