Very Computer

Is it possible to put them work together?

I would like to have the LInux box dial out automatically when some pc
on the net try to connect to the Internet and disconnect when there
are some long idle on the line.

Thank you,

Kent Sin.

I don't know about masquarding, but what I use on the network is works
sweet.  My Linux box is running diald w/ pppd on a dynamic IP
connection.  Next, I am running sockd to firewall all the inside
address so I only need the IP address that is assigned to me on
dialin. Then I use a socks cap to run my windows stuff(works for 3.1,
3.11, win95). The diald & pppd are available on sunsite but the socks
stuff is at ftp.nec.com in the /pub/security subdirectory.  You will
need the following files.

socks5 - ver5 of the socks server that will run on Linux - will need

               will need to be compiled
sockscap - for windows apps - compiled versions(1 exe, 1 dll)
Readme's - in sockscap dir

Hope this helps. If you need help with this setup just email me
                                                                 scott

Can you please show us your script files for diald and pppd.

I run a similar setup: diald and ip masquerading, no socks,
