Oh, bummer, I totally mis-read your question.. back to the beginner's
class, Oli.

so you want to use a DSL link as backup, instead of an ISDN link?
Simple: use pppoe-client with DDR ("pppoe-client  dial-pool-number <n>
dial-on-demand") functionality, so your PPPoE dialer will only come up
when interesting traffic triggers it, just like an ISDN dialer. there
you go.

Or am I still wrong?
