I have a problem...

I want to have my PPP connection to my ISP demand dialed both ways, 
ie the one who has some packets to deliver opens the line.

I have it sortof running by using a ppp -auto as my demand dialer,
and having a ppp hanging off a ppp aware getty on the same modem.

The problem is that the -auto ppp set a default route, which
points to tun0, now when a call comes in its answered and the ppp
comes up on tun1 which should now be the default, and as expected
this doesn't work :(
If I kill the ppp -auto when the call comes in, it works, but
I cannot get it to start a new one on exit, so I'm lost again...

I have fixed IP# in both ends (which I can control), and I need
to route my little network over the line.

Any ideas ?? sombody have this working ??
