I don't think this is really something that diald needs to worry about, at
worst it could probably be done with intelligent scripting heres a couple
of ideas. Maybe people can comment and suggest concept improvements or
different methods or specific scripting suggestions. Once I've resolved my
pap-secrets issues I'll be ready to look at this, maybe someone else will
have written a script or piece of code by then ....
Bare in mind though that I'm still trying to become the master of my
pap-secrets file and at the moment it's beating me.
1. Alter the diald script in /etc/rc.d/init.d to Ask for the target host.
ie. similar to the way lilo loads pauses before loading the kernel (hmmm,
maybe you could even use lilo ?). Maybe a list of options could be
displayed with one of them being the default and a time limit to respond
otherwise the default is loaded. ?
I'm not upto this stage yet becuase I would still have the same problem
ie. How to I get authentication to work on different hosts for the same
login id ?
2. A script that alters the phone number in your chat-script and then hangs
up diald (if it is online) and reconnects to the new number. The number is
probably the minimum (it's all I require) but you could maybe alter other
features or get it to load different files etc.
Something like diald-switch -n 1234567

Subject: Re: dialing different hosts
I also switch a lot between three different dialup configurations.
I've managed to get it down to a single diald.conf, and a symlink
which selects the dialup config. I factored the connect script into a
driver script which loads the config pointed to by the symlink.
This steup isn't quite there, because I still have to twiddle the
pppd-options by hand sometimes, but I think it's possible, with a
clever combination of 'include's and symlinks to generalize this to
allow for switching cleanly between ISPs. It would nice to provide
this as part of the 'standard' diald package.
