I'm curious as to whether anyone has written or ported a load-balancing
PPP server for use with multiple lines.  Linux supposedly has something of
the sort, and was wondering if FreeBSD did also.  I have in mind two phone
lines with 33.6 modems at each end, to achieve a poor-man's (or woman's)
56K.  FreeBSD-based server on one end, and a Mac 8500 at the other. 
Intriguing prospect.
