The docs are really confusing and not telling the truth. For example: The syntax of my pap secrets is <User> <Password>, each on a seperate line! I found this from the log file where pppd reported using the whole line as my user name. Peter> Another question is: There are more then one number to Peter> dial to my ISP.

Well, this would work, but what I'd like to have is to have pppd dial the second number if the first is busy.
