Modem strings / Multiple isp numbers (was: Re: Uploaded pppupd 0.23-1)

[Brandon Mitchell <bhmit1@mail.wm.edu>]

Seeing this thread just reminded me of something.  I've been working on
some ppp scripts and got pretty far.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to
correctly reset the modem between dials.  Now if anything funny happens
between dials, it just hangs until I pull up another program that will
reset the modem (kermit or minicom).  I'm back at school now, and I'm on
the ethernet now, so if someone wants to take over, be my guest (but give
me some credit if it gets used).

Scripts appended to the end of this message,
Brandon
