I'm using user-mode PPP with automatic on-demand dialing on FreeBSD 2.1.6, and I've RTFM, and I don't think there's a way to use multiple phone numbers. Is there? I see with kernel mode PPP I can use any program I want to do the chat stuff, so I could write an `expect' script and make this work, but last I knew pppd didn't offer on-demand dialing. Has this changed? -Dave
