Depends on your definition of "work" :-). I'm using a 9706 version of ppp and
it does go through the phone number list, but I'd like the phone numbers to be
used as error fallbacks instead of continually cycling through the numbers.
That is, if I've got it set to "1111111:2222222:3333333", it only tries
2222222 if 1111111 failed and 3333333 if 2222222 failed. But the way it works
now (well...in my 9706 version) is that if the last number dialed was 1111111,
it'll try 2222222 regardless of whether or not 1111111 succeeded last time or
not. But it's no big deal for me - it just keeps dropping me in the middle of
a hunt group of numbers instead of always starting at the first number. I
could drop it back to just the first number, but occasionally something gets
weird with the number it gives me or with the hunting that it's nice to have
the fallback numbers.
