Re: Configuring PPP

["Michael Fox" <mafox@mail.fairfax.com.au>]

I thought one should do pon providername..

Ie when you create your scripts with pon, you give them a name.. ie isp1 or
ffx etc.

So then I would use the following command to invoke it.

pon ffx

pon isp1

etc..

Try using the pon ispname(name you used when using pppconfig to create them)
