I have a SuSE 6.0 server on my home network and it dials out
automatically when someone attempts to route packets outside of the
network. I use diald to automatically dial the modem and have some
firewall rules that handle routing packets for the network. I have setup
the Win95 boxes to use our ISP's nameservers and to use the Linux server
as their gateway. With this setup, anytime someone on the network brings
up a web browser or email client the modem dials out automatically.
I'm not sure if the kind of setup I have can be done automatically
through YaST or not. I've done all of this setup by hand with
configuration files for diald, and ipfwadm. If you know your way around
Linux and don't mind configuring some stuff by hand, I can forward you
all of my config files that I use for diald and the ipfwadm rules my
server uses.
