Hi
OK, i'll try to give more details:
I have a permanent connection to my ISP through my cable modem. However this
connection does NOT allow me to have internet access, only access to a login-
server located at my ISP. I dont have to pay for this connection. I have a
static
ip-address for my PC.
In order to gain internet access i must tell the login-server that i want to
get access.
Once i get access i have to pay some amount per minute. The access is
controlled
by some sort of NAT/firewall located at my ISP. I'm automatically logged off
if there has been no traffic between me and the internet for a period of 5
min.
What i would like to do is to have diald call the login-server to let me out
if i
need access and use the rules of diald to log me off again. I dont want to
have a
permanent connection since i pay per minute.
Maybe i don't need diald. However it would be nice to have something like
diald
to control whether i have internet access or not.
I hope this helps a little.
