9. Programs and versions used

To write this document i have used the following diald versions:

• Diald 0.16.5 - Last version maintained by the original diald autor.
• Diald 0.99.3 - Last version until the first edition of this document.

And the following pppd versions:

• pppd 2.3.5

Diald 0.16.5 version is perhaps the most extended, and the one that many Linux distributions include. It is suficient for many sites, and it is very reliable, but, of course, later versions have many interesting capabilites.
