NetBSD has included support demand-dial PPP since the 1.2 release. For information on how to set it up, you can either read the pppd(8) manual page for more information on this option, or you can get the new dial-on-demand PPP kit contributed by Paul Goyette (paul@pgoyette.bdt.com): ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/private/pgoyette/pppd/ppp-dod.tgz Since the kit is located in a subdirectory of the /private FTP directory, you must cd directly to Paul’s directory. Otherwise you may get permissions problems due to the fact that read permission is turned off on /private. The kit includes all the files you need, including a HOWTO on getting PPP up and running on your system. Keep in mind that demand-dial PPP requires that your ISP give you a static IP address.
