[Re: [nsp] MLPPP & Cisco]

[Joshua Smith]

i have 2 t1s in a multilink bundle - works great (except for the 
local-loop at the far end that goes down about once per day)

i use policy routing to push traffic through it, but the traffic load
is very light, so i don't know what sort of load it places on the cpu

"Walk with me through the Universe,
 And along the way see how all of us are Connected.
 Feast the eyes of your Soul,
 On the Love that abounds.
 In all places at once, seemingly endless,
 Like your own existence."
