I can't seem to get diald 0.6 to use the local address I give it on
the command line ...  That is :

        diald .... local xx.xx.xx.xx remote yy.yy.yy.yy ....

It ignores the local IP I give it and insists on using the machines
actual IP address.  A workaround for this is to pass the IP address
pair to pppd with the -- parm at the end, as in :

        diald ..... -- xx.xx.xx.xx:yy.yy.yy.yy

I tried diald 0.7, but for some reason that just hangs up the modem
right after sending the login password.  I just grabbed pppd-2.1.2d
but haven't installed it yet - still at 2.1.2b.  Could either of these
problems be related to that ?
