The patch files found in this directory fix two problems that diald reveals in other programs. ppp-2.1.2d.patch - Fix pppd version 2.1.2d so that it makes correct use of of /dev/cua* devices when the device is passed in as the standard input and output. Without this patch pppd-2.1.2d and diald will not work together on /dev/cua* devices when either the setserial option "session_lockout" or "pgrp_lockout" is in force. If you can't turn off these setserial options (avoiding messing up some versions of getty) then you'll need this patch. ppp-2.2.0e.patch - Fix pppd version 2.2.0e the same way the above patch fixes ppp-2.1.2d. ppp-2.2.0f.patch - Fix pppd version 2.2.0f the same way the above patch fixes ppp-2.2.0e. tcsh.patch - Fix tcsh so that it ignores utmp entries for machines named " ". These get left around by some versions of xterm, and there presence can cause tcsh to make a name service query, which in turn can cause diald to bring up the link.
