I know ijppp can do this, but I have problems with ijppp =) Maybe you should first address your problems with iijppp. Are you the bloke who gets a line drop after 30 seconds? Did you follow up Brian's suggestions?

But before you do any of that, you should ask yourself why you want to do it this way. If you ask us, you should tell us the answer to that 'why'. So far, I can't see what you're trying to achieve that iijppp won't do for you a whole lot better.
