Before I got diald working here, when I was using chat and ppp, I was for a
bit using 2 isp's and had 5 user id's that would have to login. I developed a
little script (based on the ppp chat scripts distributed with the
distribution) but the script would not only dial the different numbers, but
would also (based on who was logging in), would also match the user to the isp
to do things like pick up mail:-). Since I've been running Diald, I've only
been using one isp and one login id, so I haven't been to concerned about
it:-) But, I think I've still got that old script somewhere (just have to dig
it up). I believe it can be modified to be used with diald (I was able to
modify the diald connect script to make pap connections and send different
initiation strings to the modem based on time (my better half didn't want a
noisy modem doing the midnight mail run:=)
At any rate, my son is on the linux box doing his homework (internet research)
and I'm on the Win box doing the mail, but next time I'm on the linux box,
I'll see if I can find it:-)
