What interface is that? If it is sl0 or tap0, try "apt-get remove diald" unless you want to use diald. "man diald" if you don't know what it is. If you have a dial-up internet connection, diald controls dialing on demand. For many users, the built-in demand-dialing of pppd is sufficient. -- If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
