Hi

I have been stuggling with diald for a while now until
i finally got the logic of how it works.That was after
i managed to do a dail on demand with pppd.

However i seem to be stuck. When ever i run diald i
get the following...

The diald version i am using 0.993 and kernel version
is 2.4.7-10.

Please help

Regards
