Diald Problem

["Curtis A. Snyder" <casnyder@penn.com>]

Hi,

    Looking for help with diald. Trying to set an old 486 up as a dial
on demand router for my home network. Using official slink with 2.0.36
kernel.

    Problem. diald will not automatically connect. dctrl up-request or
"up" in diald.options works fine. But telnet/ftp/ping to an IP address
or via name will not trigger an auto dial up. Even tried telnet to other
ports.

    Using tcpdump, netwatch. doesn't seem to be anything going to sl0.
Have debug on in diald.options and nothing written to any logs (unless
of course I force up the connection). I'm not trying to do anything
tricky. Have used other's working /etc/diald, but they don't work for
me.

    After booting netstat -nr command shows:

    Please reply directly. Not sure my mail-list registration is
working.
