   is there any ppp package for NetBSD (or one that can be made to
   compile and run there) that supports demand dialing?

PPP is built in, but no demand dialing...  

But there was a hack recently in one of the mailing lists, using a
small script and /dev/tunN and tcpdump, to do the auto dialing. Very
cute... I guess we should include it somewhere...
