Subject: Demand dial with IIJ PPP

Precedence: bulk

        I just installed 2.0.5R, and am trying to get IIJ PPP up, to do
demand dialing.  I got it working once, after having exercised the daemon
by hand.  I suspect that this had the effect of installing a default
route, so that when I then ran the daemon in -auto mode, it was triggered
by the next attempt to connect to something (in fact it even tried to
connect when I telnetted to 'localhost', which seems very strange).

        However, when I install 'ppp -auto pmdemand' in rc.local, and
reboot the system, dial-on-demand doesn't work, doubtless due to the
absence of a route.

        How should I install that route?  Via a 'route add' command in
rc.local, or via a command in ppp.config, or what?  Or is it an ifconfig
on the tunnel device, tun0?

	Examples, please.
