RedHat-diald no go?

I am having problems using RedHat 7.1 (2.4.3-12) and diald
(0.99.4) on my Linux server. When I see "SIGTERM" and "SIGINT"
I get very nervous. Has anyone got diald to work since 1996? 
if so, Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!
This is what happens when diald tries to connect to my ISP
after receiving a http request:  (/var/log/messages)
