Using duel channel bonding on external ISDN modems not possible with this version shipped with RedHat 5.2. Downgrading to ppp-2.2.0f-5 from the 5.0 distribution allows normal use of both b channels bonded. Only errors listed in /var/logs/message was a connect script error. However WITHOUT modifying anything and just downgrading to ppp-2.2.0f-5 only this error disappeared. Below is the error given.

we are very interested in knowing whether ppp 2.3.6, which is available in the RawHide Tree and/or Red Hat Linux 5.9 beta, has fixed your problem. We don't have access to ISDN in the test lab so we cannot verify that the problem still exists. If you could get the SRPM from RawHide and build it on your system, and test whether or not the problem has been corrected, we would greatly appreciate it. ------- Email Received From Scott Kindley <scott> 04/01/99 04:59 -------
fix is to put asyncmap 0 in the options file.
