I can dial up multiple ISPs very easy using linuxconf - an interactive
configuration and activation utility which allows to configure
the following topics:
o Networking (client)
o Basic TCP/IP setup
o Routing
o DNS location
o NIS client
o IPX (novell) setup
o PPP and SLIP dialout <<< !
o Networking (server)
o Boot services: RARP and DHCP
o DNS
o IP Aliasing
o NFS
o Mail
o Uucp
o X11
o User account
o File systems (partitions)
o Boot mode
o LILO
o Boot runlevel
One key difference between Linuxconf and other configuration utility
is that Linuxconf take care of the activation.
Linuxconf may be used as a command line utility.
Command line options:
netconf --connect <pppsetup>
allow you to establish a PPP connection using the <pppsetup>
specification.
netconf --disconnect <pppsetup>
terminate a PPP connection.
<pppsetup> = <your_ISP_1>, <your_ISP_2>... etc.
