I don't know enough about PPP to know how much of it is handshake intensive.... [RC] ---------- From: owner-freebsd-questions To: questions Cc: M.C Wong; M.F Wong; mfwong 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.
