[Sheflug] Dialling Internet on Demand

[Alan Dawson <nospam [at] chesterfield.ac.uk>]

Hi all

I'm sure this MUST be very easy but ...

A network of Win 98 clients with a Linux router dialling up an ISP with PPP
doing masquerading

I can make the linux box dial up manually but would prefer it to dial up
when one of the other boxes on the LAN requests a resource not on the LAN.
Then what would be really cool is if it would drop the line after 900
seconds or so if there was no activity.  Any pointers or howto's out there?

TIA 
Alan Dawson
