Subject: Modem race with Multilink PPP

I have a problem dialing into a 3Com/USR Total control rack using two modems
and multilink PPP.

When the FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE system is rebooted both the modems try dialing
at once and establish ppp sessions at virtually the same second according to
the radius logs, but it does not becom a multilink session. When I force the
lines to hang up the next time they dial in multilink PPP works fine.

I suspect the fact that they dial in at exactly the same time after a reboot
is the source of the problem.

Is there a way of making the modems dial say 30 seconds apart?

Here is my ppp.conf minus the correct passwords. It's using a Stallion
Easyio 8 port board hence the funny device names.


- Ernie.
