That's good news. I use eql here and at present have three 56K modems
connecting a school to the ISP.
The one big problem is that the ISP has three boxes and eql needs to have
all modems connected to the same box. This is purely a matter of chance
when you dial in to a rotary, so most days I have to be content with two
lines connected.
So eql is nice but what I really need is Multi Link ppp. I believe that
BSD has it and I know that Multisloth has it. Any ideas on how to stir
things along for Linux?
BTW, I'm in the market for a good connection manager if anyone has one.

Hi all.
I've noted that debian doesn't have the tool to manage the EQL
network device. After a bit of ftping I've found eql-1.2.tar.gz in
sunsite.unc.edu, compiled and tested it. Maybe eql is not very used
(I used it some years ago and it worked fine!), but anyway it's
silly to have EQL support in the kernel without the neccesary tools
to use it.
Here is my proposed description:
Description: load balancing tool for serial network connections
The eql_enslave tool allow you to double, triple, quadruple your
network bandwidth with multiple point-to-point links. Works with
PPP or SLIP. It needs EQL (serial line load balancing)
support in the kernel.
It was written by Simon Janes [EMAIL PROTECTED], it is GPLed and
smallish. If nobody objects I'll package and upload it to unstable,
with package name eql, section admin and priority optional.
