For those of you who want to try out the multilink capability of the new
PPP driver in the 2.3.99pre kernels, I have made a beta release of pppd
which includes multilink support. It is available at

ftp://linuxcare.com.au/pub/ppp/ppp-2.4.0b1.tar.gz

This release should also fix the problems people have been having with
demand dialling.

To use multilink, you basically just run two instances of pppd. Assuming
you are dialling an ISP, you obviously need two separate serial ports,
modems and phone lines. You would invoke pppd the same way for the two
links (except for the different device name and possibly different connect
script), and you would need to give the `multilink' option to pppd.
