Yet another way would be to have it dial Manually by hosting an intranet webpage with a CGI Script on the Gateway system to start and stop the dialout, the dialer can still be set to auto-disconnect after a period of inactivity, just in case you forget

I've heard you can do this with "dial-on-demand" scripts. I've never
done it though.
bit in wvdial documentation but did not find much about dial on demand
but i know it should work. But i realy want the window-machine not to
make my Linuxbox dial on to internet every time it lookes up something
on the internet. I want it to pop ups some kind of "Do you realy want to
dial to the internet?" and some way to disconnect the connection from
the windows-machine. My ISP is very expensive and i do not have
broadband. :(
name, but a quick search for "demand dial" should get you some results. As a
side note, you can set an idle option to pppd that will drop the connection
after a certain amount of time. Not ver helpfull but hey it's a start. :)
