Don't think about diald yet. Get the connection working normally,
then try to get diald working, if you need it.

As well as what Alex says, you'll need to edit /etc/resolv.conf to
look something like:
domain smsu.edu
nameserver 146.7.2.2
nameserver 150.199.1.11
Type "man resolv.conf" to find out about this file. Also have a look
at the documents in /usr/doc/ppp/.
To see how things are going, add "debug" to /etc/ppp.options_out and
look at /var/log/syslog to see what's happening. Once you seem to
have a connection, try something like "ping 146.7.2.2" to check.
