RE: diald and ppp problems
I had the exact same problem and posted an email on this today. I'm having
diald use the /usr/bin/pon command, which basically issues the same

You can't. You must let diald start pppd. You can use
/etc/chatscripts/provider, but you must call it from
/etc/diald/diald.options. Do so with a connect line like this:
connect "chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider"
