Re: [SLUG] Newbie having troubles with Diald

[Linz]

Thanks to all who have been assisting me.  Ths current state of things:  I have replaced the internal 14400 modem I was using with an external 56K and enabled the I/O port in BIOS and can dial out.   I tried the   default   option in diald.conf and get an "unrecognised option" in the log file.  If I modify this to   defaultroute   I get connected for about 30 seconds and then "modem got hung up on" in the log file.  Diald stays running but I can't bring the link up again - Possibly my misunderstanding of the dctrl - and I can't kill the process.  Yes I read in the man pages that defaultroute conflicts with diald   I get a route to sl0 but if I try to type   route add default dev ppp0   on the command line while the link is still actve I get something to the effect of device not available - can't find exact message at the moment.   Thank you for your patience and assistance Lindsay McPhee
