Make sure you don't have any options in your ppp options file that
conflict with diald options.
From the diald man page:
pppd-options <arg1> ...
When diald is being used in PPP mode extra commands
can be passed on to pppd by specifying them after a
pppd-options command, or after "--" on the command
line. This should not normally be necessary as
default commands can be placed into the
/etc/ppp/options file. But, if you need to run mul�
tiple instances of diald with different pppd
options, then you will have to make use of this
ability. WARNING: Note that some pppd commands
should not be specified, not even in the
/etc/ppp/options file, because they will interfere
with the proper operation of diald. In particular
you should not specify the tty device, the baud
rate, nor any of the options crtscts, xonxoff,
-crtscts, defaultroute, lock, netmask, -detach,
modem, local, mtu and proxyarp. Use the equivalent
diald commands to control these pppd settings.
Take particular note of the part after "WARNING:"
If you do have these options specified, try moving the options
file where it won't be read by pppd and try starting up the
connection.
If this doesn't help, then I'm not sure where to turn next.
