I have set dial on demand boxes before on 6.2 RedHat and some prior versions. They used ipchains, masq and pppd. I unplugged the last box which I had it setup on a few months ago. I know someone at one of the meetings was looking for something similar. There should be a how-to out there.
Here are some pages which should help:

There is a trick to using a fake default gateway which triggers the dialup session. The second trick was always trying to get the system to disconnect after 15 minutes or so of inactivity.
Are there very many people out there who still use dialup connections to connect? Is this something we could at a meeting? How about trying this with a digital cell phone?
