Have you tried the pppd option "nodefaultroute"? Read about the option
and others in "man pppd." If that's not the problem then post exact
copies of the message, the pppd script and /etc/ppp/options to get
opinions as to what is happening.

|pppd will initiate the scripts and die indicating the connection script

|script and just use the options file, the script fails. If I remove the
|options file from the /etc/ppp directory and put back the command line
|options for pppd, the ppp-on & ppp-on-dialer scripts work fine. What

Correct settings? If the connection script fails in both instances
in which /etc/ppp/options is involved then something must be wrong.
We cannot tell you "what gives" without details. You can post exact
copies of the message that the failure generates, the pppd script, the
pppd script with command line options, and the /etc/ppp/options to get
opinions as to what is happening.
|To my understanding you don't have to specify the options file on the

|ppp-on. Is this correct???
Yes. You can specify any option in either place (and others) if you
are executing pppd as root.
|I have read the PPP-HOWTO atleast 3 times, and all the other related
|HOWTO's. Can someone send me a working options & pap-secrets file for
|use with 2 modem connections and instructions on where to place these

Maybe you'll get lucky and someone can do that, but I can't.
