- I have two internet accounts (with two different provider) and I have setup my
- AmiTCP config for the two accounts.
-
- I have changed my startnet (if both provider use the bootp protocol is not necessary)
- the db/resolv.conf file (I have two resolv.conf files) and the scripts to get the
- connections.
-
- For example, the first script is:
-
- Ipdial ITNET ;ipdial is the utility to dial my first internet provider
- ITNET
-
- setenv HTTP_PROXY <the_itnet_http_proxy> ;the env variables for proxy
- setenv FTP_PROXY <the_itnet_ftp_proxy>
-
- copy amitcp:db/resolv.conf.itnet amitcp:db/resolv.conf ;in the resolv.conf file
- there are the name server
- address and domain name
- startnet.itnet
-
-
- The second script is the same with vol (second provider) in place of itnet.
-
- The two startnet program can be different (in my case I use PAP for vol and two
- different serial setup; the ppp interface is ppp0 for both accounts)
