Diald

I have just put a RH6.0 firewall into a commercial windows network to give
them email and browsing. I am running squid, ipchains and diald to do the
dialing to bigpond. The firewall works great for the browsers ie. the modem
auto dials in and connects. I can then run up Outlook express to retrieve
some pop3 mail and this also works. The modem will stay up as long as there
is traffic from the browser or Outlook. The problem I have is if there is no
traffic and the link goes down Outlook won't bring it up again. I have to
use the browser to get the link going and the Outlook works.

I am using a diald 0.16 rpm I found on the net and ipchains is masquerading
ports 25,53,80,110.

I am also using Bigponds DNS.

Any ideas

Steve
