Multiple Dialups??

Multiple Dialups??
« on: October 09, 2000, 03:26:39 PM »
Here is my problem: we have an e-smith machine acting as a gateway but we use BT surftime which has a different dialup during the day from that by night. My initial instinct was to use wvdial out of standard hours until I realised that this will not cope with setting the loopback with the remote IP address. We also run Squid and various other services, well you know the amount that has to be done going online :)

My first question is: Is there an easy(ish) way of creating multiple dialup settings (also useful for uploading to different ISPs) and switching between them?

Secondly: I had an inspiration that I might have the cron daemon run a script which changes the settings file for diald. So I read the diald documentation and found out where I thought the settings were stored....they weren't. Does anyone know where E-Smith stores these settings?

Many thanks in advance,

Adrian Lester.
