Hi,

I'm using the commandline pppsetup (ppp-go, ppp-off) to connect to the
internet via dialup.

Q: is it possible to setup multiple accounts with this? E. g. 'ppp-go
tiscali' or 'ppp-go free' or 'ppp-go tiscali2'? I'd much appreciate this. I
know it is possible with KPPP, but I have to use ppp-go, since I also use a
connection manager (linecontrol) to share the connection, and this in
return uses pppd via ppp-go/ppp-off.

If all else fails you can write a wrapper script to copy desired
parameters file to whatever.conf and call the one you want. Me
not use pppsetup.

Grant.

I use a script originally from Debian, modified ever so slightly.

http://www.highspeed.flyer.co.uk/lin...nfig/pppconfig
http://www.highspeed.flyer.co.uk/lin...ig/pppconfig.8

Use the following commands to install:

[ -d /var/lib/pppconfig ] || mkdir /var/lib/pppconfig
install -o root -g dip -m 0755 pppconfig /usr/sbin/pppconfig
install -o root -g root -m 0644 pppconfig.8 \
/usr/man/man8/pppconfig.8

Add any dialup users to the 'dip' group.

Additionally, the following scripts are required.

Run the install script once you're happy that you've backed up any files
that might get overwritten.

Once pppconfig has created your connection name, 'pon connection name'
will start it up. 'poff connection name' will shut it down.
