Hunter,
Providing the modems setup for multi-link ppp, and I mean by issuing the appropriate
at commads to the modem as per the manufacturers manual. You should be able to change
this line....
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
INITSTRING='ATZ '
to this....
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
INITSTRING='at&f1s60=64s61=2s70=0s71=1s80=1 '
Make sure your modem has the latest firmware available from the manufacturer. It will
work with the origional firmware but there are improvements with the firmware which is
documented on 3Com's web site.
I have personally used the 3com this way and achieved the bonding of both b channels.
I currrently use a Farallon Netopia ISDN modem which is virtually a clone of the 3Com.
That init string is at&fs60=64s71=1s80=1 which may also work in the 3Com....but since
the firmware for the two models is NOT the same you may or may not get the Netopia
init string to work.
But first I would use seyon and issue an at\s (if I remeber correctly) to view exactly
what registers have been set on your modem. Whatever the commands your modem requires
to enable multi-link should then be issued. And remember to use at&w to store the S
registers you selected.
Hope this helps. If ya need further assistance email me off list and I'll help ya all
I can.
I must say that I have used this and still do on the Netopia using RH4.2, Im currently
in the proccess of upgrading to 5.0 so I cant say this works for sure in 5.0, BUT I
fail to see why it wouldn't.
