So, when I surf the web, IPChains masquerades packets from my other PCs and
kernel sends them to the default interface (because Internet is not a part
of my in-home subnet). At the same time diald is monitoring that default
interface and when packets arrive to it, diald simply dials and actually
sends the packets thru ppp0 interface.
Is this correct?
