Yeah, but should be done in an easily modifyable way for
people/packagers who don't want to launch the gst tool.

Well actually if you add "demand" as a ppp option in network-admin this
works. All we need to do is add it as a checkbox in the advanced tab to
make it more visable.

Yeah, this would rock. In it's simplest form it's just a few firewall

We'd also want to make this possible for dsl and isdn.

This would be part of the aformentioned dialing program I imagine.
