"You must have SLIP devices in your kernel in order to use diald, EVEN
IF YOU PLAN TO USE ONLY PPP CONNECTIONS! Let me repeat that, diald
needs SLIP to work under all circumstances. It uses a SLIP link on a
pseudo terminal to create the proxy device that stands in for the real
connection. Naturally, if you plan on using diald to establish PPP
connections, you must also have PPP devices in your kernel."

Diald requires a kernel that supports slip interfaces.

Does yours?  Otherwise it might be network problem (route, ifup,
permissions) when the sl0 is started

Cheers

Alex!
