The latest version of ppp has a rewritten ``set autoload'' command, so if you want to bring secondary links up & down based on traffic, you should get a newer version of the software (from my web page). > Now I run leases line via -dedicated option to PPP > and the dialup gonna be through mgetty.

The key bit is the ``set mrru'' command. Without it, MP is not done. On the client side you need to ``clone'', but on the server side you should do nothing. Ppp is smart enough to receive an incoming call and ``notice'' that there's already a ppp invocation talking to the same peer. When this happens, ppp passes the link to the other ppp invocation. > I do not have a clear idea how I gonna make this :( > > Thank you in advance!!! > > With best wishes, Oles' Hnatkevych, http://gnut.kiev.ua, -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
