Hi Mark,

Does anyone know who if MacOS-X supports Multi-link PPP, as I would
like
to setup 2 connection, which I know I can do now, e.g. Ethernet &
Airport
(and route correctly). But what is different is that both interfaces
will
have the same IP/NetMask/router ..etc information. But the TCP/IP
stack will
be able to share the transport load over both of them.
Can this be done ???.
Mac OS X has no support for ML-PPP; as an ISDN modem supplier we had to
bake our own implementation. But there are artifacts left in the
original PPP implementation! You can have a closer look at the Darwin
source - maybe it is not such a big deal to reanimate this stuff if you
do not need a fancy user interface...
(Also can this be done on MacOS 9.x, I am guessing a
No, which is no biggy, but want to be sure).
No support for ML-PPP, either. But there was a scandinavian product for
Mac OS 7/8?
As Quinn said, there is no demand in the US for ML-PPP. But here in
Germany ISDN is rather common and cheap. It's nice to get a 2nd
B-Channel within seconds if you need more bandwidth. And if you're
living in a remote area you may not be able to get a DSL line!
