This is my current ppp options file. I use it for dial on boot, 24/7 connect
and it works fine. I am in need of changing this to a dial on demand connection
(I am going to be terminating my 24/7) and I need to know what to change.

-------------------------------------------------
crtscts         # enable hardware flow control
modem           # modem control line
connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/login.chat.script"
# noipdefault     # remote PPP server must supply your IP address.
                # if the remote host doesn't send your IP during
                # IPCP negotiation, remove this option
passive         # wait for LCP packets
domain cybcon.com    # put your domain name here

205.147.76.99:205.147.64.49        # put the IP of remote PPP host here
                                   # it will be used to route packets via PPP
link
                                   # if you didn't specified the noipdefault
option
                                   # change this line to <local_ip>:<remote_ip>

defaultroute    # put this if you want that PPP server will be
                # your default router
persist         # Redial if link dies.
-------------------------------------------------

The pppd command to dial on boot is in /etc/rc.local as:

---------
# PPP
/usr/sbin/pppd     
---------

Any suggestions for me would be appreciated.
