I've been trying to accomplish this for some time now without success. I have ppp itself working fine. I can telnet to the gateway and issue 'ifup ppp0' or do it from the gateway console and every machine on my network can communicate with the internet so I conclude forwarding and ipmasq is fine. I cannot figure out how to get the gateway to come up on demand automatically. I've tried several things with the demand option in pppd and tried to figure out diald once but with no success.

If it must be loaded and then finds that it's request must wait for diald to complete, there may be some sort of overlapping of wait periods. try insmod /lib/modules/your_kernel_version/ipv4/ip_masq_irc.o before you start mIRC. pelon

You might shorten the pause between digits. These are Modem Initialization issues. Thes could help speed your time to connect, but I'm sorry I do not know what is taking the 8-12 seconds before your modem is taken off-hook. How did you enable dial on demand?

[expert] PPPD 'Lag'
I have my linux 'gateway' setup to Dial-on-demand. Works great (well, almost). At the moment, if i try to connect with mIRC from my Windows Workstations, it takes 8-12 seconds before the gateway dials up. Is there any way I can shorten this time, without affect internal network performance? Thx in advance
