Sorry,  both services run at the same time but sometimes diald seems to be
crazy.  Also ppp.log file gets filled with warnings like:
diald[###]: Delaying 1 seconds before clear do dial.
diald[###]: device ttyS1 is locked by pid ###
diald[###]: Couldn't find  a free device call out oon.
diald[###]: Connect script failled.

all the time mgetty serving a dial in user.

I'm not using /dev/modem but /dev/ttyS1

Is it possible to disable one of the service where the other takes control
an enable it terminates??

Now, just another question:
How to prevent diald from firing when a client asks for a local network
address?


Thanks in advance
