Hi Scott, In order to have MLPPP on leaf you have to enable MULTILINK_SUPPORT in the kernel and recompile the appropriate packages that is , kernel + ppp .... etc ...
You have to get the source tree .... I haven't tried in production so far but the above procedure is a "straight forward" one once you down load the cvs source tree and read a few docs. Let us know if you have managed .
