It's called Multi-link Protocol (MP) and pppd doesn't support it.
ppp(8) does however.
The idea is to clone your link, point the second link at the second
device (or point both links at both devices), set up gettys that'll
pick up and exec ppp(8) on the other end, and ensure that you've got
``set mrru ....'' in all configurations.
Check the man page for details.
