> -Diald to have dial on demand functionality with the modem

OK, every man and his dog has tackled your main problems, I'll tackle this
one.

I used diald way back on 5.2 and loved it. Upgraded to 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 and it
broke at every step and I had to change heaps of configuration. I haven't
managed to run it properly since then. At the time when I was struggling
with the 7.x setup (and gave up), diald didn't seem to be maintained any
more. If it has been picked up again - terrific. If not - dump it. It really
is VERY hard to get right (never used to be but you get that).

I now use wvdial and pppd combination on it's own.

pppd has dial-on-demand capabilities built in to it, and there are heaps of
documents on the web to assist  you.

Admittedly it has no-where near the flexibility of diald but it does work
flawlessly.

I miss my filters though. It was great how with diald you could set which
individual protocols kept the link up and for how long etc. pppd doesn't
support that.
