  Now I need to get ppp to dial on demand, and I am confused! I 
 ahd advise from 
  here to add demand=yes to the ppp script, but which one and if 
 it is not 
  running in the background how will that help? I have read 
 another HowTo which 
  mentions files that I do not have, but it implies they are standard.
 
 Just demand. Just start pppd, it will fork, and wait.
  
  I am using RH7.2, where do I go from here. I installed mgetty 
 but I think 
  that is for dialling in??
 
 Right.
