[ale] Windows -> Linux dial out

[Thompson Freeman]

Well - I've got a really ugly approach that works pretty well here. Since
RH installs Apache by default, I point all browsers at a web page on the
server machine. CGI scripts then bring up and drop the ppp link, and may
be called from any machine on the house network. 

It isn't very idiot resistant, and it does require a little cooperation to
get along with two people on line, but it works for us.
