Hi Phillip,
You can, I tested it on 5.0ai10. I downloaded the Microsoft PPTP files which
contains the Dial Up Networking 1.2 upgrade. This adds among other things a
"multilink" section to the dun properties where you can specify "additional
devices" to bring up.
I was using a Toshiba notebook with two pcmcia modems and it worked very well.
Friends also tested it for me with Linux. Unfortunately since it is an "i"
release there is no way it is going near our production network. Roll on the
next major release.
Cheers
Andrew
