There is no multilink implementation for the FreeBSD kernel, no. What you _could_ do is work with Brian to segregate the user-interface and the protocol handling in the userland PPP, making it possible to compile the protocol handling itself into the kernel. This could be very useful, as it provide a good development-environment (userland), while making it possible to exploit the performance boost of having the code in the kernel. Eivind.
