The 1984 CCITT recommendation for X.25 (et al) mentions multilink protocol
as a link level protocol for X.25.  It does not go into specifics (of course)
about the protocol.  What are the major differences between multilink and
HDLC?  When is multilink used instead of HDLC?  Is it reasonable to expect
it to be used over the same medium (RS232) as HDLC?  Where can I get
documentation on this protocol?

			Thanks very much for your help..
