Greetings,
I am seeking some assistance with using diald and masq to connect thru
a modem to an ISP who allocates dynamic IP addresses.

I have got diald working about 90% but am having a few annoying
problems still, namely:

1.	My mailer, browser, newsreader times out before the modem
connection is fully established.
2.	Sometimes the connection does not get made first time; I get a
message about the serial line being looped back; the line then
disconnects and retries 30 seconds later, usually successfully.
3.	The line does not disconnect cleanly and there is a message
about a process that has been sent SIGKILL being still alive after 60
seconds.  The process then closes with an abnormal exit (status 1).

If anyone has a similar configuration to mine (see above) I would
appreciate a look at their diald.conf and their ipfwadm setups.

Regards, Howard.
