Automatic dialup endpoint characteristics

Use this type of endpoint when you need to initiate a PPP connection with a remote host automatically. This is commonly used to connect to Internet service providers.

A link established from this type of endpoint has the following characteristics:

• it acquires the use of a modem dynamically from a group of one or more modems administered by UUCP

• the local host machine brings up the link automatically by detecting the presence of an outgoing IP packet for the remote host's IP address

• either the local host or the remote host must be able to specify the IP addresses that identify them

To add this type of endpoint, see ``Adding a PPP link endpoint using the PPP Manager'' and ``Configuring an endpoint for automatic or manual dialup''.
