As an side note, diald isn't always a money-saver; for me, in fact, using
diald (unless I spent large amounts of time redoing the config files)
would be more expensive than pon/poff, since on my local phone bill I pay
a fixed rate per call, and my ISP charges me a flat monthly fee. Having
my connection go up and down frequently could get very expensive.
