hi... a possibility is to include something like Diald... in the RedHat distribution... and configured specifically to work with the RedHat ppp scripts... for people who are on a network... and who have a dynamic inet connection... so that anyone on the local network can bring up the link... on demand.. i'm a little confused how to make diald... and the redhat ppp scripts... work together nicely..
