I used mpd at one point for a proof of concept to do this, it did work pretty well with 2 dsl modems, 756k being bonded into one 1400 link. It did have problems, but I think I got greedy by using openvpn to push compressed packets through it. Keep the vpn out of it :) It is a good idea, since any single link from the users on one side of the connection(s) can use all the available bandwidth for one link. MLPPP is the way to go for sure, mpd implements it, since from what I remember reading, most of the MTU bugs are gone and it's just like the old 'shotgun' modem technology.
