Description:
diald: dial on demand daemon for PPP and SLIP.
- Many sites use SLIP or PPP links to connect to other sites over phone
- lines. Normally these links must be explicitly turned on or off.
- diald can be used to bring a SLIP or PPP link up when there are
- Internet packets to be sent to another site, and to close the link
- down when it is idle.
- .
- diald operates by starting a SLIP link on a pseudo tty and setting up
- a route to the resulting interface. This interface is called the
- proxy. diald monitors the proxy to determine when to bring up a real
- communications link. When a real link is up diald routes packets from
- the proxy to the real link and monitors the real link to decide if it
- needs to be shut down. As well, if the link goes down unexpectedly
- diald will attempt to reestablish the link. The rules for controlling
- these operations are extensively configurable in run time startup
- files.
- .
- For diald to work the kernel *must* have SLIP devices, either compiled in
- or as a module, even if only PPP connections are made. In the latter case
- you should also have ppp, of course.
- .
- Diald needs a program like "chat" or "expect" to actually dial.
- Sorry, "dip" cannot be used.
Changes:
* Tries a bit better to detect SLIP devices. Bug #4290.
