Not true. demand dialing will work fine without that. ppp_on_boot just
allows pppd to start at bootup. Without it you just need to start pppd
with pon.

No. It uses the presence of this file as a "trigger" to decide whether to
start the pppd program at bootup. Whether or not it starts in demand mode
depends on how the "provider" peer is configured.
