I have a remote site (an hours drive from me) that currently gets mail
from an isp. I would like to integrate them into our network, and only
get mail from us, and use the isp for web access. Also , they run
windows.

I am using mserver (also called masqdialer) to allow them to dial our
mdk7.2 gateway out. This works very well for the current internet
connection, but I have been having trouble using it with more than one
connection.

It needs to use the same device for all connections (ie ppp0), and needs
to execute something along the lines of "ifup <connection name>.

Draknet only sets up one connection, so I set up one, and renamed the
file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*-ppp0 to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*-cae, then set up the next connection
and copied it ot /.../*-mweb

Now, running "ifup mweb" works as expected, but "ifup cae" dials the
mweb connection.

Anyone know how I can use multiple connections with the same network
device. I have an opportunity to go out there tomorrow to test it (after
testing at home tonight), so a prompt answer would be nice !
