As far as I know 0.99.4 is the most recent version. Did you perhaps mean
diald 0.16.x?

you need to pass the 'noauth' option to pppd. It's covered in the pppd man
page in the section under authentication.
using 'pppd-options noauth' in /etc/diald.conf would be fine.

Precisely. Authorization is now required in pppd 2.3.9+ IF there is an
existing default route at the time pppd starts unless the 'noauth' option
has been set. So set the 'noauth' option and pppd will be happy to proceed
normally without asking your ISP to log into your machine.
