Multilink PPP is the Livingston/Lucent protocol. It does NOT
work except with ISDN. Most of these load balancing protocols
are asynchronous. Read my commenta above carefully.
To increase bandwidth, say you have a sync connection of ISDN
(two chanels) or two channels of a T1. Each individual bit
is assigned a time slot. They have to be carefully synchronized.
With ML, you send one bit on one channel, the next bit on the
other channel etc.
You cannot do this with async modems. You could assign a
web page to one channel, one picture to another channel. But
this is not Multilink PPP.
