Problem with Dialing on Demand with ISDN adapter

I have a problem on NT Server 4.0 getting a Network Adapter (A RACAL XTOLL
ISDN card) to dial up the Internet when there is traffic.

I can connect to the internet OK if I open the DIal Up Networking
application and press the Dial button. That causes DUN (or RAS?) to dial-up
and connect
without any problem. Once connected I can ping addresses on the Internet, 
do ftp, www etc without problems.

If I am not connected to the internet and I try to ping an address on the
Internet then ping simply times out. The ISDN card does not auto-dial and
nothing works. 

I've been through all the Sever Networking resource kit docs, tweaked all
the things that you are supposed to get Dial up networking to auto-dial,
and still no joy.

Is there any way of tracking the decisions made by NT when deciding not to
open up my dial-up route?

This state of affairs is a problem because I would really like to run a
proxy web server and mail server on the NT box, but as things stand this is
a non-starter.

I note that in the Dial up networking monitor, it says that the card is
reporting the status "Unavailable" whatever that means.
