use pppd with "call" option instead.
so "pppd call vsnl" would read options from /etc/ppp/peers/vsnl where you
would specify vsnl specific options. notably a
"connect /path/to/chatscripts/vsnl"
similarly "pppd call mtnl" would call mtnl ...
to setup DNS automagically you can use the $DNS1 and $DNS2 variables
which are passed to /etc/ppp/ip-up by pppd in simple shell scripts which
overwrite resolve.conf.
mail me if you want mine for vsnl & mtnl.
mail reconfiguration would depend on the mail server in use. Shouldn't be
more difficult then s///ing a line in some control file and sending a HUP
to the server.
