I seem to be having issues with a standard router config we send out to most of our routers. I'm getting multiple "Di0: No free dialer - starting fast idle timer" messages when I debug dialer events. It's a simple external modem attached via aux port and it does seem to work at some sites. At others the thing just sits there and never dials out like it should. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
