Diald "obsolete" error

[Ted Behling <webmeister@cyber-wizard.com>]

I'm trying to run diald to automate my PPP connection.  I don't recall the
exact sequence of events when I upgraded from kernel 2.0.34 to 2.2.1, but
it now generates the following lines in /var/log/messages:

Feb  8 15:36:22 salsa kernel: diald uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET) 
Feb  8 15:36:23 salsa diald[612]: Diald is dying with code 1

Diald then terminates.  I'm using the package that came with Debian 2.0,
and according to the diald man page, I'm running version 0.16 (1997-01-28).
 I've checked the diald Web page, but it didn't cite this problem.  Is
there a fix?
