Thanks for the scripts. However that is not what I am looking for. I
have a Linux machine as a firewall/gateway (NATing) for the rest of the
LAN. The issue of "dial on demand" is that whenever a packet comes in
from the LAN destined for the outside, the dialer should kick in. When I
set the "demand" option in /etc/ppp/options, pppd (being called by pptp)
asks for a chat script to connect up. This is what I am looking for. I
have no problem manually (or automatically) initiating a pptp connection
to Netvision. I want one that is demand initiated.
