I didn't know there was a new version. Thanks. Diald now restores
the routes and interfaces to the state they were before the link was
brought up. However, diald still won't bring the link back up
automatically after it has taken it down. The dummy SLIP interface
acts likes it is passing packets (the TX counter increments), but
diald never seems to notice and reactivate the real SLIP interface.
