Hello,

I'm trying to use two modems at the same time for dialout on a Linux box.
I can't use EQL because the dialin equipment at my ISP (Cisco TAC's and
3Com/USR NetServers) don't support SQL.

First, is anyone working on MLPPP for Linux? the IIJ PPP daemon for
FreeBSD has been modified to allow MLPPP. Unfortunately, it does not
compile at all under Linux.

Second, I tried to "split" the traffic from my LAN across the two modems,
like so:

 /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S ww.xx.yy.zz/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W ppp0
 /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S aa.bb.cc.dd/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W ppp1

Unfortunately, this doesn't work -- only one of the PPP interfaces is set
up as "UG" (in netstat -r) -- the second PPP interface doesn't route
correctly. Is this a problem at my ISP? a host can't have TWO default
routes, correct?

Because only one PPP interface is up and gatewaying, the machines on the
LAN that route through the other PPP interface can't get on the net at
all. I don't really need MLPPP/load balancing -- if I can get both PPP
interfaces to gateway, I can manually split the load across the two with
the appropriate firewall rules.



Cheers,
Orly
