There isn't any yet.  I may start on a 'dialdconfig' after I get pppconfig
2.0 out.

pon starts pppd.  diald wants to do that itself.

Replace the 'connect' line in  /etc/diald/diald.options with this:

connect "chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider"

Comment out the 'disconnect' line.  Add this line, replacing 'username'
with the username your isp gave you:

pppd-options debug noauth user username ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote
