Description :
The purpose of diald is to make it transparently appear that you have a
permanent connection to a remote site. Diald sets up a \"proxy\" device
which stands in for the physical connection to a remote site. It then
monitors the proxy, waiting for packets to arrive. When interesting
packets arrive it will attempt to establish the physical link to the
remote site using either SLIP or PPP, and if it succeeds it will forward
traffic from the proxy to the physical link. As well, diald will monitor
traffic once the physical link is up, and when it has determined that the
link is idle, the remote connection is terminated. The criteria for
bringing the link up and taking it down are configurable at run time, and
are based upon the type of traffic passing over the link.
For diald configuration stuff I recommend using diald-config package.
