Here's what I use on the provider side.  I can dig up the customer config
as well but it is basically just an even simpler variation of this and, IIRC,
does not use Virtual-Template.  The only reason I use Virtual-Template here
is that IOS 12.2S won't let me put any other type of interface into the
'encap aal5mux ppp ...' otherwise I'd just tell it to use Multilink1! 

I've only had one customer who ever wanted this, and they stopped using it
quite a while ago in favor of multilink over T1.  But, it worked as you
would expect any multilink to work.  It has been a while, and I can't quite
remember if I put the IP address on the Multilink1 interface or on the
Virtual-Template.  If it's like any other multilink, then the IP would
go on Multilink1...

A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the
power off and on.  Knight, seeing what the student was doing,
spoke sternly: "You can not fix a machine by just power-cycling
it with no understanding of what is going wrong."  Knight turned
the machine off and on.  The machine worked.
