Yes, sorry, I meant to mention that here.
It is still really beta-level test code as far as the multilink is
concerned. It basically works but there are still some issues with taking
links down.
You need the latest 2.3.99pre kernel and you need to make the /dev/ppp
device node with `mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0'.
You start the first link as before. You start the second and subsequent
links in basically the same way, except that (a) you probably need to
specify a different serial device and maybe a different connect script
(e.g. to dial a different number), and (b) if you run pppd as non-root,
and you use the defaultroute option, and you don't use the noauth option,
then you will need to use the noauth option on the 2nd and subsequent
links, because by then you will have a default route and pppd will by
default want the peer to authenticate itself.
