DIALD

[Daniel Stringfield <servo@jax-inter.net>]

After much "persuasion" of many poeple after saying that I was using DCON,
I went and installed diald.  Guess what.. it doesn't seem to run.
it seems like the /etc/init.d/diald won't actually run... it ACTS like it,
but if you pass it "./diald laksjfladskf" it just sits back down to the
next command...
??

NOTHING was running that uses the tty port (ttyS3).

Also, I've never messed with chat before... does the debian diald default
to chat, or expect?  (You must forgive me, I've used DCON forever now...)
and... what script file does it point to? I must also say the the
documentation in the debian package is a waste.  The install script tells
you to look for /usr/doc/diald/debian.diald file but does not exist.. :(
(and the little documentation that was there did not help any...)

I went to the diald homepage... and was not too impressed with the
documentation there...

I've edited the file "chatscript" which was in /etc, and /etc/ppp
(edited both, just in case) to match my site.. 

But it doesn't seem to be a config file problem... more of a startup
script problem...

BTW, I'm running diald_0.14-4.deb from /rex/binary-i386/net
Is this one possible broken?

I'm also running LIBC 5.4.7 now.. could that maybe be causing some
problems now?? haven't before...
