Well, apart from the reading of the IP-Masquerade HOWTO (usual place, 
http://www.linuxdoc.org), I can recommend either DWUN or Masqdialer 
(find 'em on freshmeat.net) for getting your workstations to tell the 
server to dial up.  Both have GTK/KDE/doze clients, and are fairly 
configurable.  I prefer them to running something like diald to say when 
to bring the connection up.  Debian includes the masqdialer as a
package, DWUN you'll have to compile from source (IMHO DWUN is the
better app ;)

There is absolutely _no_ reason to waste your money on one of those
things ;)
