I've had this headache for a long time, using Linux with multiple ISPs. Generally I've resorted to writing my own scripts to accomplish different setups for different ISPs but I'm getting tired of the pain involved in modifying the script when I want to add/remove an ISP, so I thought I'd take a look at Xisp. First, I think it's been reported here, but the one in hamm is broken. It doesn't seem to recognize the fact that I have libforms0.88 installed. Anyway, the one in slink seems to have installed itself fine on my hamm system.
So, I got things running with Xisp, but one question, how do people generally provide for various configuration files when they have multiple ISPs? For example, from past experience, for each ISP I know I need different versions of each of the following /etc/resolv.conf /etc/hosts /etc/smail/routers /etc/smail/config I see that Xisp provides a mechanism for at least /etc/resolv.conf, via the ip-up utility. I haven't actually gotten it to work yet, but I'm still exploring. Are there hooks in here you can add to modify other files? The other problem I have is that at work we have an OLD terminal server, and it's PPP isn't functional, so, I have to use DIP/SLIP to connect to it. I don't suppose there's any provisions for a SLIP "ISP" in Xisp? It, of course, requires it's own configuration files. Perhaps I just need to take some aspirin and live with the headache, but if anyone has any suggestions I'm MORE than willing to listen. Thanks! Gary
