Re: [TCLUG:9360] pppd with demand dialing / keeping packet thatopens connection

[Nate Carlson <natecars@real-time.com>]

That's ip forwarding, I've already got that working. Somebody mentioned
something about there being a different file that will actually save the
packet that brings up the diald (well, in this case, pppd dial on demand)
connection and will send that packet when the connection comes up, instead
of just forgetting it as usually happens. This way, whatever request
brought the connection up will be completed. I just have to deal with some
clients that can't understand the concept of having to do one connection
attempt to the web site / e-mail server to bring the connection up, and
then resending that connection attempt to actually establish the
connection. Any ideas?
