. <- remove this point please
The purpose of diald is to make it transparently appear that you
have a permanent connection to a remote site (usually your provider).
.
You MUST have SLIP devices in the kernel in order to use diald, even if
you only plan to use only PPP connections. Of course, you will need PPP
devices as well.
.
Diald needs a program like "chat" or "expect" to actually dial.
Sorry, "dip" cannot be used.
