I briefly looked at this and it appeared to be nontrivial: I also started to look into MorningStar PPP but was disgusted by the prices. I have basically a similar problem: a pair of ISDN terminal adapters that can't do bonding on an async connection (sync only). I was curious to see if they could be used as two separate links with multilink PPP, but the lack of an easy/obvious solution persuaded me to wait until the TA vendor finishes an async bonding implementation. There is an RFC for multilink PPP out there in RFCland.... and I'd be interested in any results. ...
