RIP does not have a demand circuit feature, but snapshot routing does
provide the ability to run distance vector protocols (like RIP or IGRP)
on dialup circuits without keeping the circuit up permantently by
supressing the periodic updates. You certainly can do RIP over dialup
without static routes.
