As the others who posted responses to this have said:
the documentation that indicates a number of options you
should not use in your ppp options file. Diald passes these options
itself. Here's an excerpt from the diald(8) man page:
When diald is being used in PPP mode extra options can b
passed on to pppd by specifying them after a "--" on the
command line. This should not normally be necessary as
default options can be placed into the /etc/ppp/options
file. But, if you need to run multiple instances of pppd
with different options then you will have to make use of
this ability. Note that some pppd options should not be
specified, not even in the /etc/ppp/options file, because
they will interfere with the proper operation of diald.
In particular you should not specify the tty device, the
baud rate, nor any of the options crtscts, xonxoff,
-crtscts, defaultroute, lock, netmask, -detach, modem,
local, mtu and proxyarp. Use the equivalent diald options
to control these pppd settings.

Are you using proxy-arp? If you don't have an ethernet connection
on your machine you don't need this.
