Note that it should work fine from a technological standpoint, but it 
is not a good idea.  MP splits packets over the two channels.  If one channel
is substantially faster than the other - like 64K and 33.6K - it gets messy
fast.  The slower channel starts to lag, and it gums up the entire works.

No matter the vendor it isn't advisable to use two (or more) lines of
disparate speed in an MP bundle.
