Thanks, Jouni.<br><br>Got them to communicate.<br><br>Yes, I thought there might be "missing" documentation on the real "how to"! At least I'm not crazy.<br><br>I've been able to load multiple "profiles" from the config file (all with disabled=1), then command the supp to enable one of them, and then connect / authenticate. That is good.
<br><br>Can't seem figure out how to switch from one "profile" to another and connect. This is not good.<br><br>Any thoughts on this.<br><br>george<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/2/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">
