Harmless, and irrelevant to this discussion.

Nope; inetd is responsible for answering network requests and spawning a
copy of the appropriate daemon to handle them. diald, on the other
hand, I suspect is the source of all your problems. Get rid of it, now.
What diald is doing is taking over your network connection (the output
of 'route -n' should show that your default gateway is on sl0, which is
run by diald); since (according to one of your previous mails) your
modem isn't working properly, diald can't make the connection, so it
drops all your traffic on the floor. You should then make sure that
your network is properly set up to send all outside traffic through eth0
(try looking in /etc/network/interfaces and make sure that the
information for eth0 matches your network).
