The standards-based MLPPP is only supported for ISDN. We do support a
proprietary multi-line load balancing, but it is used in LAN-to-LAN
(Livingston to Livingston) connections. I don't believe many users will go
to the trouble of getting 2 x 33.6 modems, 2 x phone lines, etc. just to do
a PC-to-LAN MLPPP session. Please tell me if I'm wrong.
