Would you mind going through a list of steps to do this. I've been
trying to accomplish this for some time now without success. I have ppp
itself working fine. I can telnet to the gateway and issue 'ifup ppp0'
or do it from the gateway console and every machine on my network can
communicate with the internet so I conclude forwarding and ipmasq is
fine. I cannot figure out how to get the gateway to come up on demand
automatically. I've tried several things with the demand option in pppd
and tried to figure out diald once but with no success. Anything you
(or anyone else) can offer?
