When you say multiple PPP interfaces do you mean multiple /dev/ entries
like /dev/ppp[0-4], for example?  Or do you mean something else that one
would have to configure into the code?  Right now, just to try and get
my ppp stuff working i have configured my machine to have the same
internet network portion (142.49.30.1) as the system at work that i am
calling (142.49.1.23).  However, it doesn't seem to be communicating and
it panics when i have a PPP link of some sort established and then do a
netstat -r.  It obviously isn't comletely connected since a ping of the
other system times out.   (Esix 4.0.3a)
