Diamond is full of crap! First, they are now using MP (Multilink PPP) RFC
1990, well IIRC MZ reminded me that they also do MP+ (which is an
Ascendism). Anyway, if you look for that on the LINS (Lucent
InterNetworking Systems aka livingston.com) site, you'd find your command
;)
since I already knew the command I just did a search on it... set endpoint
which gives:
http://www.livingston.com/tech/docs/command/isdn_pri.html
set endpoint
This command enables Multichassis PPP, which supports RFC 1990 Multilink
PPP across multiple PortMaster products sharing an Ethernet.
set endpoint Hex
Hex
Endpoint discriminator--a 1 to 12-digit hexadecimal number. ComOS appends
zeros if you specify less than 12 digits.
And that's about it... some caveats, check through the archives for more
definitive info, but all the PM3 units must be on the same network segment
for this to work (can't remember if it's just physically on the same
segment or not), some MP links don't work properly and may be needed to
tweak to drop one line when not needed, Make sure you or your customer is
using the latest Shotgun(tm) drivers since the original drivers did MP+
and not MP.
