[Gllug] pppd demand dial help

[Brent Geach]

There is only 1 config that I need that connects to a central point from which
vaious vpn's link me to the various geographical sites.
So I'll just have to put in various routes to the effect of if it needs to see
1 of several ip ranges then dont go via default gw but via the pppd connection

What I have at the moment I have this

noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscripts/routetocrappyanalogue"
debug
/dev/modem
115200
defaultroute
noipdefault
user xxxxxxxx

chatscript

ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT VOICE
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT "NO ANSWER"
"" ATZX3
OK ATDT0000000000000
CONNECT \d\c


and in options

demand
idle 600
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
:172.19.1.1
lock

Where 172.19.1.1 is the remote ip that the pppd server assigns me
So to get it working now I added a route for a particular ip via the pppd then tried to ping
it, which caused it to try dial up failed once for unknown reason and on retry
got through and then deleted my original route which I added again and pinged
fine then. So that means that pppd is changing my routing table when it
connects and I cant find where that script is at the moment.

What package does pon come from?
