Exactly WHY do you do this ? If you have diald running, then all you
need to do is start some IP-traffic. If you weren't running diald it
would make sense to do what you describe (telnet, ppp-up).

Certainly - that would be quite easy to do. I'd probably opt for using
'rsh' instead of telnet, but that's a technicality.

Yes, that is EXACTLY what diald does anyway. diald sits and waits for
a packet to appear destined for a dummy interface. When this happens, and
the packet is accepted by the filtering, diald will begin the process of
bringing the link up, and changing the routing.
