I may have already answered in the vein BWTH.

v3 PM interface is very similar but the config for each "user" goes in a 
seperate file but is still only read at startup. This isn't a problem though 
as you have either a pipe or now a socket to control ISDNPM over.

I have a REXX script that controls ISDNPM for me calls, redials if no 
connect, starts up mail and news collection/delivery and so on. It wouldn't 
be that hard to configure several "users" and use the appropiate one via the 
controling script. It would also be possible to drop and reconnect at the 
time boundarys if required. The REXX interface is much expanded in v3 and is 
easier to work with.

BTW I have got compression working. Use "FLAGS : LZS" in the apporpiate .OUT 
file and set Demon to use "MS-Stac". On my brief tests compression made a 
noticable difference to web browsing not quite as big as going from V90 
modem to ISDN but not far off.
