1. diald problem - pppd won't start from diald

Hi.

I can't seem to get this diald thing quite right:

I have a ppp-on script that allows me to dial in. works perfectly.
------
#!/bin/sh
# ppp-on
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 115200 lock crtscts modem defaultroute
connect "/usr/local/bin/chat-on" user hjanssen
------
which uses:
------
#!/bin/sh
# chat-on
INIT=ATZS11=255
PHONE=0,2539650
/usr/sbin/chat '' $INIT OK ATDT$PHONE CONNECT ''
------
And for the sake of completeness, ppp-off:
------
#!/bin/sh
# ppp-off
DEVICE=ppp0
if [ -r /var/run/$DEVICE.pid ]; then
  kill -INT `cat /var/run/$DEVICE.pid`
  if [ ! "$?"="0" ]; then
    echo "removing stale $DEVICE pid file."
    rm -f /var/run/$DEVICE.pid ; exit 1
  fi
  echo "$DEVICE link terminated" ; exit 0
fi
echo "$DEVICE link not active";exit 1
------

But of course, I want the darn thing to auto-dial on demand....
So I installed diald. diald.conf:
------
mode ppp
buffer-packets
buffer_size 1048576
device /dev/modem
speed 115200
lock
crtscts
modem
defaultroute
connect "/usr/local/bin/chat-on"
pppd-options user hjanssen
local 131.211.194.141
remote 131.211.194.140
dynamic
reroute
include /etc/standard.filter
------

When I have a packet that wants it to dial out, It starts dialing. the
connect script is done, there is a modem-connect negotiation, it
starts pppd, and pppd spectacularly fails to do anything at all. after
one or two minutes, diald times out and kills pppd. What am I doing
wrong?

Thanks,

Jasper
