Hi.

Has somebody already thought about using SLIP over two lines, I mean 
using two lines for one point-to-point link to double the throughput ?

I think the changes to the kernel wouldn't be very great. The output
routines only have to distribute outgoing packets to the appropriate
lines and input routines have to collect incoming packets from all lines
and put them into the incoming queue of the protocol. Or does PPP 
already have such behaviour ?

Greetings, Jan-Oliver
