Hiya's,

We have a unix box here that has a dialup slip connection to a
Internet Service Provider.

Might I be asking to much, if I wanted the unix box to dial the ISP on
demand and then drop the line after a specified period of inactivity,
ie, if there was a request to an IP address that wasn't on the local
network ?

Any comments would be appreaciated.
