  demand Initiate  the  link  only on demand, i.e. when data
              traffic is present.  With this option,  the  remote
              IP  address  must  be  specified by the user on the
              command line or in an options file.  Pppd will ini­
              tially configure the interface and enable it for IP
              traffic without connecting to the peer.  When traf­
              fic is available, pppd will connect to the peer and
              perform  negotiation,  authentication,  etc.   When
              this  is completed, pppd will commence passing data
              packets (i.e., IP packets) across the link.

              The demand option implies the persist  option.   If
              this  behaviour  is  not desired, use the nopersist
              option after the demand option.  The idle and hold­
              off  options are also useful in conjuction with the
              demand option.
