Is there a ppp on demand that executes /etc/ppp/ppp-up?

I have ppp working quite well and maskerading working as well.  Now what I
need is ppp on demand that dials my ISP when I need it to.  I've seen and
tried diald but it tries to execute pppd on its own and I don't want to have
to go though debugging another way of executing pppd.  So is there a way
to have /etc/ppp/ppp-up executed automaticly (since it now works by hand) and
then have ppp-off executed after a sufficently inactive period?

Or should I tear into the diald stuff and try to make it just execute ppp-up?
