Now that I got Dial On Demand (/sbin/init.d/wvdial.dod) with the 1.41-67 version of wvdial.rpm; working on my SuSE 6.4:kernel 2.2.16 box running. I still have to manually run the final pass of '/sbin/init.d/firewall start' to get the firewall script to turn on ipchains for the newly establised IP address given to the firewall box from the ISP. If I don't run '/sbin/init.d/firewall start' after the pppd daemon dials, then all of my internal LAN clients can't get out to the open internet. What is the way to have '/sbin/init.d/wvdial.dod' and pppd kick off '/sbin/init.d/firewall' after every ISP connection triggered by an internal LAN client? I am in the process of reading the 100's of pages of IPCHAIN-HOWTO, FIREWALL-HOWTO; however it would be greatly appreciated if someone has already crossed this chasm.
