Sorry for replying to myself, but the thing never got off the starting

Sadly none.

I did cook up a patched version of pppoatm.so and edited it into ifcfg-ppp1.

I then dropped ppp0 and plugged in the second Speedtouch 330.

The existing ADSL connection emmediately dropped and the pair of them 
seemed to then fight with each other, going up and down seemingly at 
random. There were times when they both announced they were up, but they 
didn't last long. I can tell the lines from each other because they have 
radically different upload speeds.

I did try and run up both ppp0 & ppp1, but the lines were not up long 
enough to get any meaningful results re the itf patch.

I guess at least part of this problem rests in the kernel code.
