ILINK/2 and InJoy seem to have different ways of doing things. I haven't used 
any script in InJoy in several years. I have never used ILINK/2 so can't advise 
on how to get it to make a pap connection. Maybe someone else has had 
experience with it. My suggestion in the mean time would be to grab InJoy and 
give it a try. You might find that it works much better for what you want to 
do.

You aren't asking about how to select multiple login scripts, but how to use 
the scripting system for ILINK/2. Hopefully someone here can help, otherwise 
you should try a different dialer until the help comes around.
