Re: intent to package eql
That's good news. I use eql here and at present have three 56K modems
connecting a school to the ISP.
The one big problem is that the ISP has three boxes and eql needs to have
all modems connected to the same box. This is purely a matter of chance
when you dial in to a rotary, so most days I have to be content with two
lines connected.
So eql is nice but what I really need is Multi Link ppp. I believe that
BSD has it and I know that Multisloth has it. Any ideas on how to stir
things along for Linux?
BTW, I'm in the market for a good connection manager if anyone has one.
