As far as I know (being newbie) there is inbulit support for this in the
newer kernels (2.X.XX) for this and the SLIP emulator SLiRP 1.0c is capable
of it too, and has been since 0.9X.

If you have a new distribution (RedHat 5.0, SuSE 5.0/5.1 for example) the
there should be a HOW-TO on how this is accomplished included in your
system: trouble is - I have just recently managed to compile MESA (OpenGL
emu) and get my KDE functional and useable that I haven't had time to read
the man pages, HOW-TO's or Installation guides (html) myself, properly.

Of course you need 2 ppp interfaces, 2 modems and 2 phone lines with 2
accounts at the other end. And as far as I know it's the only way you get
true 56k speed. - the V.pcm/K56Flex/X2 56k's seem to do about
42-48000bps/sec on a really good day. A pair of 33.6 V.34s seems to be a
better, if more expensive operational solution.
