I now have user-ppp running over a bonded ISDN2E link to Pavilion Internet. I hope to be committing things some time in the next week, as soon as Hellmuth commits the minimal changes required to the i4b stuff. Check out LINT for the most up-to-date list of i4b supported ISDN cards. User-ppp is doing the bonding, which IMHO is the correct place to do it. -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
