Oh yes indeedy. I've managed to get diald working so that it connects up
to my OzEmail account when it detects any IP traffic which needs to go
out to the Internet. And I'm pretty pleased about that I can tell you
because it was a bit of a struggle for the loikes of me :)

However, I do have a couple of small remaining problemettes which I'm
hoping someone has already sorted out.

1) How do you make the link stay up for a decent amount of time (say 15
mins) even though there's no traffic. I've had to resort to writing a
shell script which pings every 30 secs. Now there must be something more
elegant than that! I tried "impulse 900,45" but it had no effect. I keep
getting disconnected after approx 30 secs idle time.

2) Is it possible to continue to use manual ppp connections. Whenever
I try to do this now, the logs give the impression that I've connected
OK, and local and remote IPs are allocated, but I can't ping anything.
It's as if the connection didn't succeed at all.

BTW - if anyone wants my diald setup scripts they're very welcome.
TIA,
