I assume you have turned ip forwarding in your kernel?
If not then
echo '1' /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
THAT WILL NOT turn it on! But, I know it's something very close to this.
I'll repost when I get to the office with the correct command (if someone
else hasen't already).
If that doesn't do it (you still need that though.
You should setup separate options files for each dialin line.
eg.
/etc/ppp/options.ttyR0
206.4.43.5:206.4.43.134
/etc/ppp/options.ttyR1
206.4.43.5:206.4.43.135
/etc/ppp/options.ttyR2
206.4.43.5:206.4.43.136
/etc/ppp/options.ttyR3
206.4.43.5:206.4.43.137
Make sure you add any other need options for each separate line in those
files. Actually, you can leave all the common options in /etc/ppp/options
But, myself I find it cleaner to put them all in their own options file.
