Glyn:
I am totally unfamiliar with multilink.
In order to test it with Bering you need to use ppp.lrp
Refer to this section of the Bering users guide for further help:
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bumodem.html
To activate multilink, according to the pppd man page, you then need to add
the "multilink" statement in the /etc/ppp/peers/provider file.
Hope that can help.
Cheers
Jacques
Excerpt from the pppd man page:
MULTILINK
Multilink PPP provides the capability to combine two or
more PPP links between a pair of machines into a single
`bundle', which appears as a single virtual PPP link which
has the combined bandwidth of the individual links. Cur�
rently, multilink PPP is only supported under Linux.
Pppd detects that the link it is controlling is connected
to the same peer as another link using the peer's endpoint
discriminator and the authenticated identity of the peer
(if it authenticates itself). The endpoint discriminator
is a block of data which is hopefully unique for each
peer. Several types of data can be used, including
locally-assigned strings of bytes, IP addresses, MAC
addresses, randomly strings of bytes, or E-164 phone num�
bers. The endpoint discriminator sent to the peer by pppd
can be set using the endpoint option.
In circumstances the peer may send no endpoint discrimina�
tor or a non-unique value. The optional bundle option
adds an extra string which is added to the peer's endpoint
discriminator and authenticated identity when matching up
links to be joined together in a bundle. The bundle
option can also be used to allow the establishment of mul�
tiple bundles between the local system and the peer. Pppd
uses a TDB database in /var/run/pppd.tdb to match up
links.
Assuming that multilink is enabled and the peer is willing
to negotiate multilink, then when pppd is invoked to bring
up the first link to the peer, it will detect that no
other link is connected to the peer and create a new bun�
dle, that is, another ppp network interface unit. When
another pppd is invoked to bring up another link to the
peer, it will detect the existing bundle and join its link
to it. Currently, if the first pppd terminates (for exam�
ple, because of a hangup or a received signal) the bundle
is destroyed.
