(A little late) This is actually not correct. mpd uses the standard multilink protocols, so it should work towards any ISP that offer multilink. I certainly know we offer it, even though we don't use FreeBSD for that side of our business (it is much more convenient to just buy a box, run a PRI and a network line into it, and have it work :-) And mpd works with us :-) Eivind.
