Good point - missed that. AFAIK the way pppd handles dynamic dialling is that
the ppp interface is permanantly available, and traffic along it triggers
dialling. So blocking NetBIOS packets from being routed to the ppp interface
with some appropriate ipchains (he did say RH6?) rules would work.

So, I suppose it all depends on what degree of control Jake needs over the link
with regard to keeping the line up depending on traffic type or time of day.
