- A different server is easy to do - especially if they both use PPP. YOu need a
- startnet script for each one, Startnet and Startnet2 are easy to remember
- names. Startnet2 could be for your second service.
-
- You'll need separate device configurations. If your current is using
- ppp0.config, make the second one ppp1.config and change the online line in
- Startnet2 to 'online devs:networks/ppp.device 1', then change all the
- $ppp0IP... variables to $ppp1IP...
-
- Now, you'll need to change ppp1.config to match your second provider's stuff.
- You'll want another dialer-script if you are already using one also.
-
- There's not much to it. I don't know anything about your current provider or
- your new provider, so I can't make any definate statements about what to
- change. But, I can say that you can set AmiTCP up for many different
- providers.
