there is the posibility of "automagiclly" connecting when ever anyone wants to connect (in /etc/ppp/options. add a "DEMAND" and "IDLE 300" statement , or see "man pppd", the demand will enable dialing when eversomeone on the internal lan needs to connect (kinda a problem if you use the same phone line for talking and have , say, mail checking, since the computer will pick up and attempt to dial. the "idle" statement is seconds of inactivity, so 300 would give 5 mins befor an automatic hangup.)
