Problem with diald

rdaves@earthlink.net · 10-16-2001, 03:13 AM

I have read that diald is an outomatic dialer. So I downloaded and ran the script. when I run diald, I get the message "dial-up script has failed".

Questions:[list=1][*]Is there a way to fix the problem?[*]Is diald worth the effort, or should I move on?[/list=1]

i use mserver, which is kinda similar to diald i think. I had to create proper dialup scripts to get it working, chap, chat and things like thing using pppd, not just wvdial settings. Sounds like a great program really, shame my house only has one phone line...

OK, So you're a traveller... why exactly does a traveller need a network????

I use dial-up networking every day to:

Stay in touch with the news
Stay in touch with friends
Buy hardware and software
Buy books and clothing
Get help to get out of trouble with linux
Play games
chat
etc
etc
etc
