what do you mean by this ?  Does it crash ?  Does it dial without
reason ?

I have two systems with diald+squid (one in US, remote-managed), and
I can frankly say that the only problems have been:

   - remote (ISP) modem not answering, especially in US, here EUnet
     is quite reliable

   - power failures (no UPS yet).

Since installation (1995 for the CH system, 1996 for the US system),
except for software upgrades, and the two above mentionned problems,
we had no failures nor need to reboot (knocking wood, very hard,
now :))

Of course this is not SuSE 6.x, but 5.x.
