PPP allows you to dynamically assign IP addresses to a connection.
I have a UNIX host and would like to support up to 5 connections
simultaneously.   Has anybody written a script that performs the
necessary magic to grab an unused IP address from a pool and
start the caller on the correct interface?

I though about looking at the incoming pty number and making pty0 be
IP address number 1, pty1 number 2, etc...  This simplistic approach
simply has too many flaws to consider.  If you have overcome this problem
in the past, I would sincerely appreciate hearing your solution.

Email is probably best.  I will post a summary if there is sufficient
interest.

Many Thanks,

Steve
