You may need to make a script that pulls down xringd, and executes 'pon',
possibly with a new ISP entry.. (new /etc/ppp/peers/* file -
'pon incomingcall' or something.. ) that uses the -detach option, then
when that task finishes, the script brings xringd back up again... just a
guess :)
i.e.:
--
#!/bin/sh
/etc/init.d/xringd stop
pon incomingcall
/etc/init.d/xringd start
--
/etc/ppp/peers/incomingcall:
--
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider"
-detach noauth noipdefault defaultroute /dev/modem 38400
