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
rules right? We could look at how firestarter does it.

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

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