Package: diald
Version: 0.98.2-0.1
Severity: wishlist

Diald can currently only handle 1 connection.
Here's a patch which will make /etc/init.d/diald handle several connections.
It starts multiple diald processes and looks at separate config/fifo/pid
files for each one.
The code's not TOO ugly (compared to the original, which has comments in,
etc ;-))
Hope you're interested.
