What version of diald do you have (dpkg -s diald to find out)? I have 0.16.5-3 and it is complete (this version needs no diald.conf). > So... is there some areas that need to be configured beside diald to > make the system work properly? ppp. > I am sort of lost here and I am considering un-installing the diald and > do a installation by source instead to make it work since the debianized > version do not work... I suggest that you try re-installing the diald package. Diald.options should not be missing from /etc/diald. > ...and the documenations from the diald's website says quite a few things > differently here as well. The diald web page may be assuming a Slackware or Red Hat system and/or a different version of diald. Diald is well documented in the diald man page and in /use/doc/diald. Try reinstalling diald. If that doesn't fix the missing files, contact the maintainer (Philippe Troin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). Once you have a complete installation, get ppp working (suggest pppconfig) and edit /etc/diald/diald.options to look something like this: # /etc/diald/diald.options # # Edit to match your set up. # # This is the port the modem is connected to. # *** MODIFY to match your set up *** device /dev/ttyS2 # diald log file: do not change. accounting-log /var/log/diald.log # diald monitoring pipe: do not change. fifo /var/run/diald.fifo # This turns on full debugging. debug 77 # We have PPP mode ppp # Changed IP JGH. local 10.0.0.1 # IP number for the provider's machine.
