Subject:   ADSL modem phonebook entry as a PPTP parameter
Message-ID:  <39AE5DDC.BDD25AC3@mclink.it>

Hello.

I'm setting up and Adsl PPTP connection to my ISP.

The adsl modem I'm currently using is an Alcatel Speed Touch Home.

That modem has a phonebook, that refers to a particular ATM virtual
channel to use. I enlists five entries in my case:

RELAY_PPP1
RELAY_PPP2
RELAY_PPP3
RELAY_PPP4
MyISP

'MyISP' is the label that identifies the correct ATM Vc to my Isp.

The generic Pptp client should be able to pick up the right label for
the specific Isp connection.


My question is:
-----------
How pptp can address the use of the suitable label within its comamnd
line?



Also consider that using the following command won't work in my case:

# pptp MyISP  PPPLabel


MyISP is the label and the symbolic for the ip address of the ethernet
interface of the modem.
PPPLabel is the ppp.conf label being used for authentication and ppp
setup.

What I got is the pptp client selects haphazardly the first available
modem phonebook entry, resulting a fail 4 times in five.

OS version is FreeBSD is 4.1-REL
PPP is user 2.26
PPTP is FreeBSD distribution 1.0.2

Great thanks for any hint!
