This a cheap hack, off the top of my head and untested.
Use pppconfig to set up named providers ispA, ispB, and ispC, in addition
to 'provider'. Put this in /usr/local/bin/pon and make it executable:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd call ${1:-provider} ipparam ${1:-provider}
Put this in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00nameservers and make it executable:
#!/bin/sh
cp /usr/local/lib/nameservers/$6 /etc/resolv.conf
Create /usr/local/lib/nameservers/. Create four 'resolv.conf' files with
appropriate contents and put them there, naming them provider, ispA, ispB,
and ispC.

Nope. Not a problem. pppconfig will create a line for each isp and pppd
will pick the one that matches the username it was given.

As long as you use a different userID for each isp you'll be fine. If you
use the same userID you will have to use 'remotename'.
