My main concern is reliability and CPU loading experiences. I am considering 16550 UART based boards and the Cyclades products. The router platform is Pentium 100-133Mhz. It may coexist with T1 frame links. I have solid T1 frame reliability without system crashes. Would I jepordize this situation by adding serial based ppp links? I am thinking about using the Motorola Bitsurfer Pro with multilink PPP in a host mode (if possible) to combine the two B channels into a 115Kbit single, spoofed ppp stream. Anybody else trying this? I know that the USR I modems don't support Multilink PPP in host mode (at least not yet). Any other good ISDN adapters with Multilink PPP spoofing and host mode support?
