It does support these features. I do not understand much about it but basically ppp is said to be an asynchronous protocol and ippp is a synchronous one. Therefore, ippp is much more suitable for digital lines such as ISDN. However, as far as I know you need your ISP to support ipppd. Perhaps you should try their support? You can get more accurate info for this same question from /usr/share/doc/isdnutils and /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc/Documentation/isdn. I am using ippp over an ISDN line here in Israel and it turned out that with my ISP there are some phone numbers to dial for which I am getting poor results while with other I am getting the expected results. > Also, how easy is it to set up channel bonding using ipppd? > > Thanks in advance, > > Gareth > -- > Gareth Bowker | [EMAIL PROTECTED] > PhD Research Student | http://users.aber.ac.uk/tgb96/ > Space Robotics Team | Office: (01970) 622403 > University of Wales, Aberystwyth | Mobile: (07971) 219986 > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > -- Shaul Karl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Donate free food to the world's hungry: see http://www.thehungersite.com
