You could give the script wvdial.dod a try.It worked for me on Suse.Dunno about other distros though. http://sdb.suselinux.hu/en/sdb/html/hoe_wv_dod_start.html I guess you could put the demand option in pppd options also. >From man pppd for the option demand demand Initiate the link only on demand, i.e. when data traffic is present. With this option, the remote IP address must be specified by the user on the command line or in an options file. Pppd will ini- tially configure the interface and enable it for IP traffic without connecting to the peer. When traf- fic is available, pppd will connect to the peer and perform negotiation, authentication, etc. When this is completed, pppd will commence passing data packets (i.e., IP packets) across the link. The demand option implies the persist option. If this behaviour is not desired, use the nopersist option after the demand option. The idle and hold- off options are also useful in conjuction with the demand option.
