pppd itself can act as a dial on demand server - been using it for about a
year now and it is not _too_ bad - can set idle time etc.
If you can start a ppp connection with the command
$: ppp-go
then
$: ppp-go -d
should put it into demand mode
Check out /etc/ppp/ files and modify options.demand
This will also work as a Dial-up box / gateway to the internet for a LAN
