pptp-linux and diald

[Maxim Yakubenko]

Good day!

I'm trying to use diald for automatic
control the pptp connection to my provider.

I can establish connection by issueing the
command:

pon tunnel

This starts pppd and brings up interface ppp0 which
is a pptp tunnel through eth0.
The key pppd option allowed to do this is "pty"

But diald insists to have some interface ti talk to (ttyS0)

How could I solve this problem?
Is this possible (to control pptp interface by diald)?

Best regards,
Maxim Yakubenko

P.S.:
diald-0.99.4
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
