  I think a startup script would be an easy way to allow for this, you could create the two dial-up ppp profiles in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and call one from rc.donf and the other from a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xyz.sh

I'm sorry because the struct in previous mail. Here is the same readable.

Hi,

I saw your examples and are very good. But, I could need if somebody tested ppp in auto mode asking for a passowrd to user. This is wat I'm trying to do:

in ppp.conf file leo:

set phone "123456" set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 19200 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 15 \ \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT" set authname MyName set authkey \"!/bin/cat /home/pass\" set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0

I whish to save my password in /home/pass file, so when a dial up is made passowrd is read from /home/pass.

This is what manual says: If the first character of value is an exclamation mark (``!''), ppp treats the remainder of the string as a program that must be executed to determine the ``authname'' and ``authkey'' values.

The version I run is "PPP Version 2.3.3"

I couldn't make it works. Did anybody try it?

Thanks Leo
