Well, I wonder if diald is needed anymore? Certainly diald has some more
advanced features but the new pppd provides the basics you need.
The setup just involves adding
demand idle 600
to the pppd options.
If I preconfigure pppd for demand dial then this configuration would only
be reflected in /etc/ppp.options_out and thus be a default for new
installations. Updating would not change the current setup.
