As a suggestion, take a look at the DialD connect script.
(/etc/diald/connect).
It is configured to use multiple numbers. It will "roll-over" to another
number if the current one fails for any reason. I've used this feature and
it works well.
It would probably be pretty easy to adapt the code from this script to work
with pon and solve your problem....
