some PPP dialers such as wvdial are able to generate the pap-secrets file
dynamically at run time to enable you to write the user/pass settings for
each dial attempt.
perhaps you could write a wrapper script around your current dialer to do
a similar function ... say 'cp pap-secrets.server1 pap-secrets' or
'cp pap-secrets.server1 pap-secrets' before running the dial script?
alternatively, you use the server column which may or may not be possible
depending on the circumstances.
