Kristian, My sincere apologies. I did misread your prior post. I thought you were speaking specifically about multiple PPP connections.
I think it was Phillip that had asked for some details on my findings, so I was going to answer that query in any event. As I mentioned previously, I am learning how the networking environment is constructed... perhaps I will be able to contribute along these lines should I get sufficiently well along.

Multiple external connections, in any configuration, will not work without significant modifications to the current networking code.
