- You don't need the registered version to have dialing however registration is
- well worth the price.
-
-
- One way to get multiple numbers if you are using the online command to start
- the ppp.device is to make a pppx.config file for each number and call a
- different dial script for each one. The only difference in the dial scripts
- would be the phone number. The online command gives a return code of 10 if the
- command fails so if a timeout occurs because of a no carrier you get a RC of
- 10. So just change your startnet script to watch for RC=10 and you can call
- each config in order. Like this....
-
- Say you have 3 phone numbers, you create 3 ppp config files (ppp0.config,
- ppp1.config, ppp2.config). Each one calls a different dial file. The only
- difference in the dial files is the phone number. You will have to add a line
- in your AmiTCP:db/interfaces file for each ppp config.
-
- ppp0 DEV=DEVS:Networks/ppp.device UNIT=0 IPTYPE=33 NOARP P2P
- ppp1 DEV=DEVS:Networks/ppp.device UNIT=1 IPTYPE=33 NOARP P2P
- ppp2 DEV=DEVS:Networks/ppp.device UNIT=2 IPTYPE=33 NOARP P2P
-
- Then where ever the online command is in your startnet script make a loop
- watching for a RC of 10 and call the next online command.

- MultiDial:
-
- AmiTCP:bin/online >NIL: devs:Networks/ppp.device 0
- if RC=10 then do
- AmiTCP:bin/online >NIL: devs:Networks/ppp.device 1
- else
- if RC=10 then do
- AmiTCP:bin/online >NIL: devs:Networks/ppp.device 2
- if RC=10 then do
- call(MultiDial:)
- end
- end
- end
-

-
- Do this in arexx and you should be able to dial any number of phone numbers.
- You may have to add a "Wait x" command before each online command but this
- should work although I havn't tried it.
