I have not played too much with its fancier options (dial on demand, auto logoff after N secs of idle time), but the integration of dialer + ppp daemon is a really nice feature. It autodetects the peer PPP data stream (similiar to seyon's auto-zmodem detection) and sets up the connection, default route, etc. No more having to explain about having to suspend kermit then starting pppd. No more telling seyon to exit but not hang up the phone. I'm about to try to gleam how to enable the autodialing, autologon scripts. Very impressed with the package and ease of use (even though the docs are in Japanese). I sugggest any PPP user still in 1.1* land give this one a shot! Thanks you very much Atsushi!!!!
