Characteristics of dialer watch:

* Watches specific routes in the routing table and initiates
  backup link if the route is missing
* Encapsulation independent
* Evaluates status of primary link based on the existence of
  routes to the peer. Hence it considers primary link status
  based on the ability to pass traffic to the peer
  Does not rely on interesting packets to trigger dialing
  Dialing the backup link is done immediately when the primary
  route is lost
* Dependent on the routing protocol convergence time
  only IGRP/EIGRP/OSPF supported
* Supports multiple router backup scenario
* Bandwidth on demand is not possible since the route to the
  peer will exist regardless of the load on the primary link
Triggered by:
1. Interesting packets defined with DDR
2. Connection loss on primary interface
3. Traffic threshold being exceeded

AM> My question is how to configure the router that it waits until both of the link 're unavailable and triggering than an isdn call.
