Just want to make sure, I am on the right track here:
I need to configure an 803 router to connect to the ISP on one number/username and password and when that connection fails (because that access account is timelimited) to dial on another number with its own CHAP username and password to restore connectivity.
Am I right in assuming that 2 dialer profiles will be needed to link to the BRI interface?
Also I want to ensure that the second number never gets dialled until the first number becomes unobtainable.
Getting a bit confused with round robin scenarios etc.
If I havent made anything clear, please let me know.
many thanks in advance

I'm thinking in the same direction, creating two dialer interfaces and 2 static routes with a different admin distance.
To prevent the router from redialling the first number over and over again without trying the second one, I suppose you'll need to use "dialer redial" command to limit the redial attempts to zero:

Have never tried this myself so let us know how it works out :)

Hi,
Use "dialer-string" like
int bri0
dialer-string 1stno
dialer-string 2ndno
If first number is not obtainable, then it'll automatically tries to dial second number.
