Is there any way to use MPP on analog modems? There is an [old] patch to the kernel and to pppd to support Multilink-PPP at http://mp.ins-coin.de/ [ note of LTT maintainer : this link seems obsolete.

The stuff at http://www.diamondmm.com/shotgun/ looks promising, and from what I've read, 'Shotgun' is just two modems on one card using MPP.
