If I pppd's dial on demand works like diald, it should support additional systems providing you have the linux system set up for routing and possible even masquerading (aka DNAT). -----Original Message----- From: Brent Metzler [SMTP:linux at bmetzler.org] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 10:28 AM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Is diald still the way to go for dial on demand? Since the thread is here, I thought I might go ahead and ask. About 2 years ago I set up a network dialup with masqdialer. The Windows client worked slick and everyone was happy. However, early this year I had to set up another dialup network, and I couldn't find any Windows clients anymore. I think I found one, but it was junk. So, does ppp allow you to remotely bring up a connection? Or is there a decent masqdialer Windows client that I missed? Or perhaps a different solution now. I thought I tried ppp on demand, but it would only bring up the connection if the box it was installed on needed it, not other clients. But I might not have understood how to configure it properly.
