Hi, listers!
I am trying to configure the automatic dialing feature in RedHat6.1. I
tried to use both their built-in tools, Linuxconf, and and diald program,
but nothing works. My PPP0 interface is configured properly and I can
start the connection by just activating the script. However, it would be
very nice if I got the automatic dialing feature working so that if any
application requests INET sockets, the PPP dial0up would kick in.
Best,
Victor

Hi Vic -
I got 'diald' working okay with my Slackware 4.0 distribution. When I
signed up on their email discussion list for a while, it seemed to me that
the recent releases, which all seemed to be oriented toward redhat, were
having lots of problems. I was using an older version that worked fine
with Slackware right out of the box, so I dropped off the list. Not sure
if I can help you or not, but will be happy to try. Have you got slip and
ppp support both compiuled into your kernel? That's critical.
Chuck.

Yes, they're both in the kernel. I belive I have a problem with local and
remote IP's. The reason is that I am assigned dynamic IP's on both sides. That
is, my ISP assigns IP's for both local and remote terminals.

Vic
Thanks for help.

That should not be a problem. You just give a 'private network' number for
each, and specify 'dynamic' in your diald.conf file. The docs suggest
using 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 if they are not already in use. The
'dynamic' option lets the software replace those phoney addresses with the
assigned ones when your ISP reports them during the signon process.

As a follow up, here is a copy of my 'diald.conf' file that shows what
works for me:
mode ppp
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/pppscript"
device /dev/ttyS2
speed 115200
modem
lock
crtscts
local 192.168.0.1
remote 192.168.0.2
dynamic
defaultroute
redial-timeout 3
include /etc/diald/standard.filter

Chuck,
Where is the demand dialing documented? I think slackware changed
versions of PPPD which may explain why it works in 4.0 but not in 7.0.

Hi Chris -
There are a bunch of man pages that were installed when the software was
installed. I think there was also a lengthy 'readme' and a 'faq' too. I
guess sometimes progress is not a srtep forward! Shall I send you copies
of the man pages? or the other documentation?
Chuck.

Hey, Chuck!
Thanks a lot. It seems like my diald.conf looks pretty much the same, except
for the chat script location, which is logical, and IP addresses. Perhaps
something is wrong inside my chatscript.
Regards,
Vic

You can usually see the details of your chat script dialog in
/var/log/messages for debugging purposes, and don't forget your 'diald'
program has a debug option too. The docs recommend doing "debug 31" to
dump that stuff into the /var/log/messages file too.

Hey, CChuck!
Thanks, that was a very helpful hint. I didn't know about Diald's debug
option.

Vic

Hi, Chuck!
yes, exactly. Now, my 192.168.0.1 and 0.2 are already in use, so I gave it 0.3
and 0.4. But it still doesn't work. I guess, I have to check more carfully
into the settings.
I'll let you know more on the progress.
Regards,
Vic
