What I was wondering is if there is some way to automatically list multiple phone numbers to try. With UUCP there is...you can list multiple lines in the HDB Systems file or use 'alternate' in the Taylor 'sys' file. And I want to do the same sort of thing with my PPP script. There's 3 or 4 different phone numbers I want to try...the 'man ppp' said not to put blanks in the number on the 'set phone' command, so I assume I can't just list a bunch of phone numbers there. It'd be nice if I could list multiple configs slirp1: set phone NUMBER1 slirp2: set phone NUMBER2 slirp3: set phone NUMBER3 then do 'ppp -auto slirp1 slirp2 slirp3' or just have a line like this: slirp: set phone NUMBER1 NUMBER2 NUMBER3 and do 'ppp -auto slirp'. Right now, I just do this: slirp: set phone NUMBER1 set dial ..... ATDT\\T CONNECT-ATDTNUMBER2-CONNECT-ATDTNUMBER3-CONNECT but that's kinda tedious.
