Correct. This is in part because you would unbalance the link, because the
proprietary load balancing simply uses a round-robin system to deliver
packets.

:b) if the products are dissimilar (and therefore use MP) I can use compression.

MP uses a more intelligent algorhythm to determine if line B is less busy
than line A.

:How about multi-channel ISDN, PM to PM using the ISDN card in a PM2e? Is
:that MP or load-balancing (the proprietry one)?

You can do standard MP on the isdn card.
