I am about to set up a dial-on-demand style ppp link (you know - when
a tcp/ip packet or whatever comes along it gets queued until the
phone link is dial, which later times out if not needed). I am
planning on using "dp.2.0.tar.Z" to do the job, which seems easy
enough to install.

However some of the sites I want to connect to want to use slip not
ppp, so then I thought fine, I'll just install "dialupip2.0.tar.Z"
as well.

Then I thought, this is silly, duplicating all that functionality,
and there is bound to be a conflict somewhere, so I thought I'd
get the ppp one going and later hack it do both ppp and slip depending
on some configuartion parameter.

Before I start, I thought I'd just ask if anyone else had done
this before and had any success !
