This is pretty easy to do. Basically, in your login script, you have it call tty to determine which tty is being used and then assign the IP address based on the particular line. #!/bin/sh # # Dynamic PPP login account # PATH=:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin export PATH mesg n stty -tostop case `tty` in '*ttyd1') exec pppd `hostname`:machine-A debug ;; '*ttyd2') exec pppd `hostname`:machineB debug ;; esac exit 0 I just whipped this up, so it probably won't work but it should give you an idea on how one could set it up. This also assumes you are using kernel-PPP, but the ideas should be relevant for iijppp as well. Nate
