The problem is most likely with the device you are using. Even though
the man page, the FAQ and whatever other docs you find about diald
keep showing examples of it working on cua? devices, this in NOT
true. You should have it talk through a ttyS? device. It wasn't always
thus, I gather, but I suspect the problem started showing up when ppp
went to 2.2.0. The author of the package is aware of the problem: he
actually came up with the solution (for the record).
Also, make sure that you do not give pppd any options that would
conflict with diald (there is a long list on the man page -- if you're
using diald 0.10-2 you probably don't have the man page installed: as
root do:
mv /usr/doc/diald/diald.man /usr/man/man8/diald.8
to install it in the proper place. This problem was fixed in
diald-0.11-3).
Let me know how it goes,
Giuseppe
