Subject:   ppp auto not dialing

Paraphrasing the man page for ppp... -auto will wait for a
ppp packet to be sent and then dial...

I run "ppp -auto my-isp"
ppp becomes a daemon. I try a few programs which I believe would send
packets, (netscape, fetchmail,ping) but ppp never dials.

If I go into ppp using pppctl and type "dial" it dials my-isp ok.

What I missing?
