I can dial up multiple ISPs very easy using linuxconf - an interactive 
configuration and activation utility which allows to configure 
the following topics:

  o  Networking (client)
  o  Basic TCP/IP setup
  o  Routing
  o  DNS location
  o  NIS client
  o  IPX (novell) setup
  o  PPP and SLIP dialout      <<< !
  o  Networking (server)
  o  Boot services: RARP and DHCP
  o  DNS
  o  IP Aliasing
  o  NFS
  o  Mail
  o  Uucp
  o  X11
  o  User account
  o  File systems (partitions)
  o  Boot mode
  o  LILO
  o  Boot runlevel

  One key difference between Linuxconf and other configuration utility
  is that Linuxconf take care of the activation.

  Linuxconf may be used as a command line utility. 

Command line options:

     netconf --connect <pppsetup>

  allow you to establish a PPP connection using the <pppsetup> 
  specification. 
  
     netconf --disconnect <pppsetup>

  terminate a PPP connection.

           <pppsetup> = <your_ISP_1>, <your_ISP_2>... etc.
