Hi,

I want to configure my pppoe connection (using my home freebsd  
gateway) to try a second username when the first account caps. (or  
teach my wife how to edit ppp.conf herself, but this is less ideal  
for a many reasons). There are a few convoluted ways I considered but  
I'm looking for something simple. I've read userppp in the handbook,  
and I'm sufficiently incapable.

This is my ppp.conf file...

pppoe:

        set device PPPoE:fxp0
        set mru 1492
        set mtu 1492
        set speed sync
        enable lqr
        set lqrperiod 5
        set cd 5
        set dial
        set login
        set timeout 0
        set authname DSL***@****.net
        set authkey ***
        set ifaddr 172.16.0.1/0 172.16.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
        add default HISADDR
        enable dns

Anyone know the elegant solution?

cheers,

aLan
