Once I realized that what he gave me in the message wasn't the
set of instructions I needed, it all went without a hitch....
... for the first ISP anyway. Every time I tried to convert the
settings for the second ISP, it set it up for the first one.
Eventually I managed it by running CFG-PPP RESTORE to reset
everything back to "zero" --- except for the profile for the
first ISP which was in a different subdirectory --- then I loaded
the profile for the second ISP, then ran CFG-PPP LSPPP for a base
level conversion.

I haven't noticed anything like that.

Not in my case.
I run an external batch file that copies the needed profile from
an external subdirectory over the ARACHNE.CFG, acording to which
ISP I want her set up for.
Then the batch file calls ARACHNE.BAT.
She loads up with the dialler page showing 0.0.0.0 for the DNSs.
And it works for both ISPs!
I haven't tried switching profiles while online which was what I
wanted it for, as I suspect too many of the other variables will
be altered, when all I really want to be able to change are the
email username and password, and the reply-to, as well as the
URLs for the POP3 and SMTP mail servers.
The POP3 of course is no trouble since I have written the
usernames and passwords into two of the shift-Fn keys for
download from each of the ISPs.
If you're interested, these take the following form:
shiftF3 POP3://username1:password1@xxxxxxxx#1.com.au
shiftF4 POP3://username2:password2@xxxxxxxx#2.com.au
