[ale] Which OS for PPP to ISP?

[jnm at safn2.saf.com (James N McClatchey)]

  Am I missing something? It looks to me as though I will have to give 
  up one of my objectives, either part-time connections or full 
  multitasking - unless Linux has capabilities I don't know about.
  
I think what you want is diald. This deamon automatically brings up
the ISP as needed. It is in the public domain on most Linux sites.
