by Here's a question...
Is there software currently written that can configure a Linux dist to
become an ISDN router that dials when it recieves packets from the
network. Ultimately, I'd like to set up a box that dials in via ISDN and
then uses ip masquerading to allow my vpn to access the Internet. I know
you can purchase an ISDN router that will do all of this for you, but
I'd like to run it on an old pc if possible.
I'm looking for a setup that will initate the ISDN dialup (using DHCP)
to connect when the router receives packet requests that are bound for
outside the network (running TCP/IP). My ISP disconnects automatically
after 30 minutes of inactivity, so the process would have to check to
see if the connection is still up, and if not, then to initate the
dialer.
If someone could please point me in the right direction for this, I
appreciate it. Thanks!
