Diald Setup Instructions
What you need:
diald-0.16.5a-1.i386.rpm
diald-config-0.16.5a-1.i386.rpm
What to do:
Install the rpms:
rpm -ivh diald-0.16.5a-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh diald-config-0.16.5a-1.i386.rpm
Edit the files:
cd /etc/ppp
pico -w pap-secrets
Add a line with your username and password seperated by an astrisk (*)
username * password
pico -w options
This file should contain 3 lines
user username
lock
asyncmap 00000000
cd /etc/diald
pico -w diald.conf
There are a couple of things you will need to change in this file:
The top section is where the filters are set up. If you have a phone line just for the internet leave it as is.
If you share a line between your phone and computer you should comment out the line:
accept any 420 any
and uncomment the line:
include /etc/diald/phone.filter
The next section down is the modem setup, be sure it is set to the right device (/dev/modem) and the right
baud rate (usually 57600 is ok).
Now you need to comment out another line:
pppd-options name anappp :
pico -w diald.conf
In this file you need to specify an init string for your modem (see your modem documentation)
and also put in the correct phone number for your ISP.
You will see a place to specify your username and password...do not put them in this file,
they have already been specified in the pap-secrets file above.
Set diald to start on boot-up and start diald:
To start diald:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/diald start
To stop diald:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/diald stop
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
chkconfig diald on
Now you are done!
