My ISP has a number of different access points, each with a different
phone number.
I have successfully written a diald connect script to cycle through a
list of phone numbers if busy, no answer or the remote modem does not
connect. However this does not help in the case where the modem
connection is established, control is passed to back to diald, pppd is
started but fails to negotiate a connection. When this happens, diald
pauses then calls the script again, which dutifully dials the first
number in its list (which is the number to which I normally want to
connect as it attracts a higher discount from the teleco than the
others.)
When this happens, often the problem does not affect all of the ISP's
access points. So I would like, in these circumstances, to cycle round
the list of access numbers rather than always restart at the
beginning. Is there any way for diald (or pppd) to communicate with
the connect script to tell it that the connection failed to establish
and thus to cycle to the next number?
