(they probably wil need to) Cisco and Ascend network access servers (not just for terminals) support multilink on both modem and ISDN. Livingston only supports multilink on ISDN (for the moment, as the PM3 is supposed to support multilink modem shortly). On dialin access, Livingston PM3's can appear as a single device, and will successfully link channels over multiple units. Configuration is easy. Cisco can also link over multiple units, but if you have more than two in the group, it best if you use a "helper" router (another Cisco doing route load balancing). I'm not sure how Ascend is handling this problem, as we got rid of our one and only MAX long ago. Tom
