ppp/scripts/redialer

#!/bin/sh
#
# A chatscript that will attempt to dial multiple numbers in sequence, until
# you get connected.
#
# To use: edit /etc/peers/provider, and change the connect line to read:
# connect "/usr/local/bin/redialer"
#
# See below for configuration.

# This is a list of chatscripts to use to get connected, and (optional)
# telephone numbers to call for each of those chatscripts.
#
# Note that in the chatscripts, you may use #NUMBER#, this will be replaced
# with the number it is calling. You might want to use this to only have one
# chatscript that is used for all numbers, or you might need multiple
# chatscripts.
