Like Fuzzy Fox mentioned, PPPd 2.3.x is definately very nice but Diald
-smokes- PPPD's dial-on-demand feature. The reason being, say you have a
Windows95/NT machine behind the MASQing box. With PPPD, that line will
come up EVERY 15 minutes wether you like it or not. This is due to
9x/NTs File/Print sharing browsing system.
With Diald, you can specifically filter out this SMB traffic and keep
the line down. This is CRITICAL for ISDN users. For full examples
(though a little dated) check out:
