Unfortantely I use pppd with it new dial-on-demand feature (I found pppd
easier to use and better route setup for ipchains) -- is there an
equivalent feature for pppd?

And they wonder why those of us in our twenties refuse to work an
eighty-hour week just so we can afford to buy their BMWs, and why we aren't
interested in the counterculture that they invented, as if we did not see
them disavow their revolution for a pair of running shoes. But the question
remains: What are we going to do now? How can we repair the damage we
inherited? Fellow graduates, the answer is simple. The answer is . . . the
answer is . . . I don't know.
