Hi, I ran pppconfig some time ago and I could connect to the internet just fine using "pon." My isp has three dial up numbers and two were down, one of them was the one I use as my default. I looked at the pppconfig man page and discovered I could have more than one account. So I ran pppconfig again and set it up so I could enter "pon mpool" at the prompt and it should dial the number that wasn't down. When I tried "pon mpool" I got an error message that there was no /etc/ppp/peers/mpool file or directory. So I made the file, tried again, didn't work. Went to the /etc/ppp/peers/binary.net file (binary.net is my default account) I copied the file and put that material in the /etc/ppp/peers/mpool file. The file now looks like this:
crossyourfingers:/usr/share/afterstep# cat /etc/ppp/peers/mpool # This file was generated by pppconfig. You can edit the following lines # but please do not delete lines or the change the comments or you will # confuse pppconfig. noauth #pppconfig_noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/binary.net" #pppconfig_connect debug #pppconfig_debug /dev/ttyS1 #pppconfig_dev 115200 #pppconfig_speed defaultroute #pppconfig_route noipdefault #pppconfig_ipdefault user ktb #pppconfig_user # End of pppconfig controlled lines. You can add lines below here without # confusing pppconfig. I tried changing the line /etc/chatscripts/binary.net to read /etc/chatscripts/mpool that didn't work. So I am at a loss here. I have read the pppconfig man page and there is nothing there that I can see will help me with this problem. My primary isp number for v90/k56 modems is still down, I finally found the file /etc/chatscrips/provider and changed the number there to the general modem pool number so I can get online now but I would still like to set up pppconfig so I can access the different numbers without having to edit the file. Thanks, Kent
