i've never done that, but i figure you need diald to dial automatically
to your ISP when an app needs it.
by the way i think maybe the option "-d" you give to ppp-go makes this
message appear (but i did not use slackware for years now so i don't know
ppp-go).
hope this helps

Subject: PPP On Demand Dialing?
Could someone explain what I need to do to get my system to dial my
ISP whenever I load a net app? I'm using Slackware 3.6.0 with kernel
2.0.35 and when I first boot, it says ppp version 2.2.0.
I ran pppsetup to set everything up and I notice in the script that it
created (ppp-go) it calls pppd. My pppd is a symbilc link to pppd-2.2
but I also see pppd-2.3 in the same directory. When I changed this link
to 2.3 and run it as "ppp-go -d" for demand dialing it still says
"pppd: demand dialing is not supported by kernel driver". How do I
upgrade to a version that will demand dial? Is there something I need
to patch and re-compile in my kernel?
The dialer works fine BTW but I figure if my old Win 3.1 would demand
dial, then I ought to be able to do it with Linux! TIA
