Someone this list is definitely going to discipline me for this...
but here goes...<br>
<br>
In South Africa we have <i>multiple </i>sessions with different
IPs (<b>same </b>Ethernet, <b>same </b>Modem, <b>same </b>IAP)
no problem<br>
<br>
In the UK I've never tried that. I do have <b>same </b>physical
Ethernet, but <i>DIFFERENT </i>VLANs and <i>multiple </i>modems
and <i>multiple </i>IAPs with different IPs - no problem.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure how <i>multiple</i> modems <b>same </b>ethernet (no
VLANs) will work... perhaps Dianne / someone who knows more will
revert...<br>

Um, I just have the Debian <tt>/etc/network/interfaces</tt> do
this:<br>
<blockquote><tt>auto <font color="#0000ff">IAP</font></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>iface </tt><tt><font color="#0000ff"><tt>IAP </tt></font>inet
ppp</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> provider </tt><font color="#0000ff"><tt>IAP</tt></font></blockquote>
where <tt><font color="#0000ff">IAP</font></tt><tt> </tt>matches a
file name from /etc/ppp/peers<br>

hahahea... I'm more Java (and PHP and BASH) and I have NO IDEA...
you've exhaused my knowledge now (; I would be VERY keen to know
the answer when you find it though!<br>
