M.C.,
I'm only thinking out loud here, but, you might still have a problem
with latency.
I don't know enough about PPP to know how much of it is handshake
intensive....

Subject: Question on FreeBSD multilink PPP support
Date: Wednesday, October 23, 1996 12:25AM
Hi,
SOme time agao, someone posted an announcement of beta multilink PPP for
FreeBSD which I remembered is for sync PPP (correct me if I'm wrong). I
will have such as need to try to do the following:
Get 2 x 9.6K analog leased line (that can delivers up to 36.6Kbps of data
with the right modems) and bond them together to form a bigger pipe. So,
looks like what I need is a device that sits at my side and a remote site
that does bonding (inverse mux ??) on 2 separate analog leased line.
I wonder if running FreeBSD with the multilink (and sync) PPP software
on both sides is all I ever need to get it working ??
Please share any of your ideas/thoughts/experiences/tips/etc with me as this
may be a cost effective way for me to do Internet connection instead of
paying heaps for a digital leased line starting at 64Kbps and yet costs
much more than the aggregated bandwith of 2x36.6K.
Regards,
M.C Wong
