[expert] Modem connections

2001-06-15 Thread Scott

Hi-

I have Mandrake 8 up and running, but I want to get one more thing
going.  Multi-link using ppp.  I have been scanning the net, newsgroups
and Google the last few days and have not come up with anything that
would help.

Multi-link ppp (if your ISP supports it) allows the use of two modems, connect
to them and bundle the connections so you can get up to 106K for
download speed.  I am currently using Windows 2000 as it is built-in.
Problem with that is:  if one line drops the bundle is broke and the only
way to reestablish it is to reboot the machine.

I have heard that this is built into the 2.4 kernel and with the version
of pppd with LM8.  Has anyone tried this or know where some good docs
on this are?  Has anyone set-up ppp without Kppp, LinuxConf or DrakConf?

Thanks in advance.

-Scott

I've never done this; but man pppd has a fair amount of info on multilink... 
if no-one else can help, I can try to work this out with you...

HTH,

 Thanks in advance.
