I use a hacked up connect script to choose whether to dial the modem bank at
the office or my ISP based on the IP requested. It checks the fifo for the
address and makes a decision based on that. If you want I'll post the
appropriate files. Not having looked at the output from the fifo recently, you
might be able to do the same thing based on IP port number.
