[ale] Multilink and PPP on Linux

[Lee Nelson]

Thanks Wes,
I appreciate the info.  However, I am not as far along this path as you =
apparently are!  How can I implement this using Linux, even with the =
problem you describe?  What kernel will support it, what PPP version =
should I use? (Both on the Server and Client side?)  How do you know =
there is a problem with  dropping carrier?  What software are you using =
that causes this problem?  Are you using ( on either side) Linux, NT, =
Win95 etc?  =20

For starters, check with Motorola to see if they have the patch =
available for the Pro to take care of a nasty bug. What happens is when =
you have both channels going, it will drop the ISDN line. The only way =
to reset this, is to unplug the unit, and plug it back in. It works fine =
in 64k mode. They know about the problem, but not sure if the patch is =
out for it yet. It will be a firmware patch.

I want to connect two Linux boxes via ISDN using a Motorola BitSURFR =
Pro.  I needed to get the full 115K bandwidth (by combining the 2 B =
channels) over the link.   As I understand it, I will need to use =
multilink PPP.  I am familar with standard PPP but really have no =
knowledge of multilink PPP.  Can someone tell me if it is possible to do =
this and if so how?  Where can I get more Linux specific information?
