-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I am happy to to announce the release of version 0.11 of diald.
This is the forth BETA release of diald. A single feature
has been added to better support connections that run diald
at both ends. Other than that this is a bug fix release.
There are still fair number of things on the wish list, but it is
getting smaller. I'll try to get to them all eventually.
As usual please report bugs, both old and new, to me.
For those who do not already know, diald is a daemon that
does demand dialing for PPP and SLIP. 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.
The file is diald-0.11.tar.gz. As usual I've uploaded it to
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming. It should move to
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Network/serial after a suitable interval.
