The issue is that I would only have a multilink ppp bundle over T1's 
connecting the 7201 to the pop where the pppoe customers are. I don't 
see how I could connect the pppoe subscribers, with multilink ppp in the 
middle, to the 7201 and expect it to work. If you have an idea how this 
might fly please let me know. I think gert (thanks) had the right idea 
with mpls, likely too much trouble however.
