Yes, I did that. Now it accesses the pap-secret files, after adding the "+ua
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets" option in ppp.options_out as well.

The docs are really confusing and not telling the truth. For example: The
syntax of my pap secrets is <User> <Password>, each on a seperate line! I
found this from the log file where pppd reported using the whole line as my
user name.

Well, this would work, but what I'd like to have is to have pppd dial the
second number if the first is busy.
