My connection script is simple editing of the original to whit:

The log file is pretty simple, just:
+++
Jun 21 09:12:48 spicerack diald[24824]: Running connect (pid = 24973).
Jun 21 09:12:48 spicerack diald[24824]: Connect script failed.
Jun 21 09:12:49 spicerack diald[24824]: Delaying 30 seconds before clear to
dial
.

My options file looks like this:
+++
mode ppp
connect /etc/diald/connect
device /dev/ttyS0
speed 115200
modem
lock
crtscts
local 10.0.0.3
remote 192.168.0.2

Whenever I try something simple like "chat -V 'ATZ'" I get no response for
several seconds (I suspect a timeout) and if I ^C during this time I get an
"I/O operation incomplete" error (or something like that).

Thanks very much for any clues anyone can drop in my general direction!
