ISDN/PAP connection to multiple ISPs

Synopsis:
I'm trying to set up to use ISDN with multiple ISPs.

Problem:
Dialing to either ISP works well the first time.  But Demon, on ippp0,
can't be dialled a second time.  08004u, on ippp1, works nicely.

Diagnosis:
/var/log/syslog tells me PAP authentication fails when I redial demon.

When Demon was the only ISP I used, I had it add the gateway and the
default route at boot time.  I removed that because with two ISPs it
needs to assign different defaultroutes as connections are made/broken.

The following doesn't work:
  ifconfig ippp0 down
  isdnctrl delif ippp0
  [ do same with ippp1 if it's up ]
  isdnctrl system off
  [restart]

Unsatisfactory solution:
After isdnctrl system off, I need to (manually) kill the ipppd before it
will work again.

Desired solution:
  isdnctrl [dial|hangup] ippp[0|1]
should be all that's needed.  At worst, one or two additional commands
that can go in a script and don't cause a delay.

Question:
What am I missing?  Why does Demon work once, and 08004u continue to
work?  How can I fix it?  I'm using PAP for both.
