on demand dialling
Posted by Richard Mayes on February 29th, 2004


I am running a Red Hat 9.0 system as a router to the internet for the rest
of my home network. I would like to set it up so that kppp dials the
internet whenever there is a request from any of my network clients for
internet access. The Red Hat Linux Bible has a few paragraphs on this and it
suggests adding the lines:

ONBOOT=yes
ONDEMAND=yes

to the ifcfg-ppp0 file.

I have tried this but with no luck. Can any one suggest what I should be
doing.

Thanks in advance

Maybe you should try changing the pppd options in
/etc/ppp/options?

$ man pppd
