Can't demand dial on OR-U (fwd)

Once upon a time Rob Blendermann shaped the electrons to say...
>I am attempting to do on_demand dialing from an
>OR-U on port s0. Manual dialing the location

Ok...

>Command> sho loc gv-s0
> Location: gv-s0 Type: On Demand
> Destination: 192.168.241.211 Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Looks like this should dial for traffic to the 192.168.241.0 network.

> Protocol: PPP Options: Routing, Compression, Multilink

I'd turn off multilink, it isn't supported on async ports.

Do you really want routing running over the link?

Are you running a recent ComOS? Why not ditch this and use PAP with
the built in methods.

'set loc username name'
'set loc password pass'
'set loc phone number'

Then you don't need to do the chat script - it's a bit cleaner.

> IP Gateway: 192.168.241.211

Ok, so default traffic is via the location.

> Default Route: Broadcast, Listen (On)

Are you sure you want this? Do you want to be:
1. Telling everyone you're a default route.
2. Possibly changing your default route if a better one comes along in
routing.

> Name Server: 192.168.241.193

You realize that setting this this way means every time you do a
'show' it is going to dial the link to try and resolve the names.

> Disabled Modules: SNMP

You might consider disabling IPX and OSPF if you aren't using them.

If the above doesn't help, I'd really want to see the routing table.
