First, according to the script below you are not running "diald" but kernel~
demand dialing.  This is good,  "diald" is an old software package for doing~
demand dial before the kernel supported it, and is in every way obselete.

The script looks fine, almost identical to mine.  I'd be more interested to
see the /etc/ppp/peers/ameritech file.  Are their any messages that occur in
/var/log/messages when the pppd dies,  I assume that pppd shows up as no
longer running after the first disconnect?
