- I'm dealing with a minor problem getting my ppp/dialup connection going with
- a commercial net provider. I would appreciate somehelp with this.
-
- Apparently, there are three lines available from the one dialup phone
- number. The prompt for the 1 line is "cs1.spa.xxx.xxx"; for the second,
- "cs2.spa.xxx.xxx" and the third "cs3.spa.xxx.xxx". There is no way of
- knowing which line is available at any given time. If I get cs1, and my dialscript
- containing this prompt is in my setup, I get a perfect connection. If I get
- cs2, with the prompt for cs1 in my dialscript, I get a strange connection
- that gives me illegible code, and I either have to wait for a "timeout" or
- reboot to break the connection. If I reach cs2 and have the dialscript with
- cs2 prompt set-up, I also get a perfect connection.The same goes for cs3.
-
- I tried using the following for the line in my dialscript that looks for the
- prompt: "cs1.spa.xxx.xxx|cs2.spa.xxx.xxx|cs3.spa.xxx.xxx". It doesn't work. How can I fix
- this so that 1 dialscript will suffice for all three connections or is it
- possible?
-
- Thanks for any helpful advice.
