Don't know of any standard script, but here's a shell script that might get
you started:
while read number; do
export NUMBER=$number
**pppd command with chat script to dial $NUMBER**
code=$? # Get the return code for pppd
if [ "$code" = "0" ]; then break; fi
sleep 10 # May not be needed
done < /etc/ppp/isp-numbers
The phone numbers are put in the file /etc/ppp/isp-numbers:
xxx-xxxx
xxx-xxxx
xxx-xxxx
