       I'm not sure what the difficulty is here. The devices
out on the market don't require that your system handle multilink
PPP. Rather, multilink PPP is handled internally by the device.

       For instance, if I plug in a BitSURFR Pro, I need to use
its multilink PPP feature to run 128 Kbps. However, the Pro then
presents PPP through the serial port. My computer never knows
that multilink stuff is going on. Pay no attention to the man
behind the curtain!

       For the record, I have users on NT RAS successfully
dialing into our service using multilink, and making 128 Kbps
connections with no major problems. No special device drivers
or intervention from Redmond is required.
