It seems my downlink running Linux can't get the multilink ppp hack kernel to compile. I'm sure it's quite possible but perhaps he has some weird combination of kernels and other circumstances. For the moment, is there any other way of load balancing? Even something crude like a one way balance, with my end distributing packets evenly over a couple of ppp or tun interfaces without the other end needing to do more than connect twice. (Can FreeBSD do *source* based routing yet? That may be one way to do a crude balance) Getting a little desperate due to the long lead time so far to find a solution for this. Thanks for any help... Cheers. -- Rowan Crowe Sensation Internet Services, Melbourne Aust fidonet: 3:635/728 +61-3-9388-9260 http://www.rowan.sensation.net.au/ http://www.sensation.net.au/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
