Hallo Juergen,

OK but in your diald.conf you have commented out the "remote" command.
Perhaps you need to look at "man diald" and the references to "dynamic",
"remote", and "local".  "remote" and "local" should be unique and NOT
the address of your machine.  Also if you look at the info on the use of
"dynamic" it says that you must specify both a "local" and "remote"
address.

I don't use ipcp-accept-local and ipcp-accept-remote so I'm not sure
why you are using them.  I don't use pppd-options in my diald.conf at
all.  I specify my pppd options in /etc/ppp/options.
Is there a reason why you are specifying pppd-options?
What does your /etc/ppp/options file look like?

Have you been able to get pppd up and running without diald?  

What I did was debug pppd first, get that working and then use the same
connection script for diald.  I have a test-script as follows.

/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 38400 modem crtscts noipdefault \
defaultroute connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-script"

Once I was able to get pppd working manually, it was a simple matter to
get diald to launch it.

Hope that is helpful.

Cheers,
Rod
