I have Diald working on two machines - one with RedHat Linux 5.2 - the
other one with Slackware 3.6.

The deal with the RedHat one is to get the RPM - I think I got it off the
RedHat FTP site - then install the RPM using "rpm -iv --force
<RPM NAME>". Then configure the files as documented on the diald home
page. (www.loonie.net/~eschenk/diald.html)

For the sake of completeness and incase anyone else is interested, using
any other [normal] distribution you can recompile the source which is on
the diald home page.

Diald really is a snap to install -
YOU MUST HAVE SLIP INSTALLED EVEN IF YOU ARE USING PPP. - diald uses SLIP
internally. Make sure it and ppp are either compiled into your kernel or
are at least modules.

If you do have any problems (related to diald), feel free to email me.
:-)

Hope this has been helpful,
Nathan.
