(PM) Suggestions for multilink router

A local school has contacted me about getting a dedicated connection to
us for Internet access. They're currently running a dedicated 56k
point-to-point line to a college about 30 miles away, at which point
they get beamed down to the college's main campus through a T-1
microwave link over the Grand Canyon. From there, they bounce over to
Northern Arizona University. And from there, they finally get to the
net. Anyway, they're constantly having trouble with the microwave link,
and are looking at another solution. I'm wondering about using some
kind of Multilink PPP router to connect them to our PM3 with two
dedicated accounts. I'm guessing this should give them total throughput
of around 100k--more than the 56k they have now (assuming they have two
clean phone lines). Does anyone have any suggestions on Multilink PPP
routers? I would love to use Linux if possible--will Linux do
multilink? I've also been looking at the Asante FriendlyNET Dual 56k
router. Since we're a small ISP in a rural area, I've never really done
much with this kind of thing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
