   I'm looking at this.  Anybody else interested in helping out?
   
I looked at it briefly; my conclusion was that I'm more interested in
implementing the Multilink PPP Protocol (rfc1717).  That seems a
better long-term solution since it will be a 'standard', and a better
way to spend our energies.

One thing I'm wondering, though; would an implementation of
Multilink-PPP talk happily to the load-sharing stuff that a NetBlazer
implements?  Or is that a proprietary thing?  Does anyone know the
details on what their bandwidth splitting does?  (In case you haven't
guessed yet, the other end of my connection is a blazer...  Thus my
high degree of personal interest in what it implements...  ;-)
