Well, I used to set a rather strict ipfilter in the incoming
interface. Only pings and www-access to a certain destination was
allowed to go through, and cause autodialup to start. When autodial
was then invoked the ifup (or whatever it was called) would relax the
ipfilter considerably to allow full netaccess.
