OK, it would be i/pppd regardless, but do you automate it or do you
start it manually?  I need it to happen automagically, both start and
stop.  AFAICT, the necessary routing changes can be made to happen
automatically.  

I start it manually... I guess you'd just need to figure out something that
would trigger it... (such as checking when your DSL is down) and then fire
off a script. The routing, as long as it is on the same machine would be
automatic. You *might* have a problem with your firewall since it would be
using eth0 to go to your ADSL setup (I assume) and would be using ppp0 to go
to the modem. But if you're using pppoe for ADSL then it would be ppp0 in
both cases....
