Hi,

I'm sure some of you are aware of my need for a PPP package which offers
RFC-1990 multilink support under SunOS 5.x (aka Solaris [2.]x) because there
are no other affordable options for improving my main PPP link's speed
beyond the 26400 bps limit imposed by the type of equipment in the local
telephone exchange. ISDN is the only digital service available, and that's
about $1k per month! 

Are there any PPP packages which actually offer RFC-1990 multilink support
at the moment? I'm aware that there is some sort of minimal support for this
under Linux in Paul Mackerras's code, and that the Linux kernel now has
multilink PPP capabilties, but what is there for SunOS/Solaris?

I've been in contact with the people at Sun who are responsible for
development work on Sun's PPP software, and one of these people is also
maintaining the SunOS/Solaris port(s) of Paul's code base, but to date no
PPP software package for SunOS 5.x provides multilink PPP support that I'm
aware of.

Does anyone know of an alternative PPP package which has RFC-1990 multilink
support under SunOS 5.x? 

Regards,

Craig.
