I have a Bering 1.2 setup using pppoa which uses ppp0 as its external
device.

I would dearly like to have a ppp1 and ppp2 device for dialin and other
tasks, can someone (Jacques?) please help. I have declared interfaces like
this

auto ppp0
iface ppp0 inet ppp
    pre-up mount none /proc/bus/usb -t usbdevfs
    pre-up sleep 2
    pre-up modem_run -f /lib/modules/mgmt.o -m
    pre-up sleep 1
    provider adsl

auto ppp1
iface ppp1 inet ppp
    provider dialin

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.5.254
        masklen 24
        broadcast 192.168.5.255


where /etc/ppp/peers/dialin is a set of options for pppd to use. If I run
ifup ppp1 I get

ifup: interface ppp1 already configured

but I cannot see ppp1 at all. This may be an issue with mgetty not properly
calling pppd but I suspect not. I suspoect my lack of knowledge here with
Bering.

Many thanks,
Matthew
