This is possible in the MP branch of ppp. It hasn't been archived
and made available yet - a few things need ironing out.
In this version, you don't get a diagnostic socket at 3000 any more,
instead you must specify it in your config file. If you use a +
sign, you can base the port on your tun unit number:
set server +3000 mypassword
For your scenario, you can simply have to configuration profiles, one
with the above line and the other with
set server +3004 mypassword
This stuff should be available soon - I'll announce it when it is.
