(A little late)  This is actually not correct.  mpd uses the standard
multilink protocols, so it should work towards any ISP that offer
multilink.  I certainly know we offer it, even though we don't use
FreeBSD for that side of our business (it is much more convenient to
just buy a box, run a PRI and a network line into it, and have it work 
:-)

And mpd works with us :-)
