For starters multilink PPP in usermode ppp is supported only on 3.0. Secondly, it's not totally fully documented, but there is enough to get you going. The big thing to understand is that each modem (or 'link') is handled independently, and you have to qualify commands for which link you're modifying. Conceptually, it's very clean, but the implementation on the CLI has some potholes. > then i'd like to assign, say 4 dialups to always > route to one of the modems, and another 4 dialups > to always route to and from the other modem. > > essentially, multi-link, but without the ISP > requirements and with 2 IP addresses. Sounds like you want multirouting rather than multilink.
