[Nolug] diald setup questions

first, a recap of what I'm trying to do:

I have a cable modem connection to the internet,
and I'm trying to set up a linux box to answer line 2
and act as a PPP server, so that it can act as my
own ISP if I'm traveling, etc.

relevant specs on the comp:
RH 9 (i'm most familiar w/ rh)
rpm installed "diald"
56k V.90 modem on ttyS1
working internet access via eth0 (I can browse the internet perfectly
fine)
it's connected to a Linksys router (dhcp) -> cable modem

(yeah, it's kinda messed up...)

some other info:
1st: when I run diald, it gives the following error message:
Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno, h_errno, or _res
directly. Needs to be fixed.
should I d/l the source rpm and compile it?

2nd: it doesn't answer the line; I couldn't figure out where to enter
an init string in the config file

contents of related files (some of these may be way screwed up...):
/etc/diald.conf:

linkname dialup
mode ppp
blocked
device ttyS1
initializer 'ATS0=2'
modem
crtscts
local 192.168.2.1
remote 192.168.2.2
netmask 255.255.254.0
proxyarp

/etc/ppp/options (x's are my isp's dns server):

auth -chap +pap login modem crtscts proxyarp lock
ms-dns xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets:

# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client server secret IP addresses
usernamehere * passwordhere
192.168.2.2

if you need more info, or have some insights, I'd appreciate it...

Ciao,
