When Niccolo Rigacci wrote, I replied:
I do this regularly. First create a /etc/ppp/chatscript.ispAname,
/etc/ppp/chatscript.ispBname, ... Then create /etc/resolv.ispAname,
/etc/resolv.ispBname ...
Then create $HOME/bin/pon.ispAname which looks like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
if($< != 0) { die "$0: must be run as root\n"; };
@dirs = split(/\//,$0);
($pon, $isp) = split(/\./,$dirs[$#dirs]);
$CHAT = '/usr/ppp/chatscript';
if(-f $CHAT) { unlink $CHAT; };
link("$CHAT.$isp",$CHAT);
$RESOLV = '/etc/resolf.conf';
if(-f $RESOLV) { unlink $RESOLV; };
link("/etc/resolv.$isp",$RESOLV);
/etc/init.d/ppp start
Then you can simply pon.ispAname, then poff, then pon.isp2name ... HTH
