I run diald as follows:

in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ I have my startup script:

*****************
#!/bin/sh
#
# diald   The on demand TCP/IP networking program
#
#
# chkconfig: 2345 57 5
# description: Diald is the smart demand-dial PPP/SLIP networking daemon. \
#      It selectively activates the SLIP/PPP link to the Internet when \
#      traffic is detected that is considered important.
#
 
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
 
# Source networking configuration.

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
 
#[ -f /usr/sbin/diald ] || exit 0
 
#[ -f /etc/diald.conf ] || exit 0
 
 
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        # Start daemons.
        echo -n "Starting diald: "
        /usr/sbin/diald -f /etc/diald/pppd-diald-LibertySurf.conf
        # daemon /usr/sbin/diald
        echo
        touch /var/lock/subsys/diald
        ;;
  stop)
        # Stop daemons.
        echo -n "Shutting down diald: "
        killproc /usr/sbin/diald
        echo
        rm -f /var/lock/subsys/diald
        ;;
  restart)
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        ;;
  status)
        status diald
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: diald {start|stop|restart|status}"
        exit 1
esac
 
exit 0

The file /etc/diald/pppd-args-chat.LibertySurf reads:

Thats it, realy:

You do need, of course, PPPD to work with the appropriate things in your 
secrets files (/etc/ppp/pap-secrets and chap-secrets)


Hope this helps...
