Hi,

On the dual T1 issue - correct me if I am wrong please but with ppp multilink interleaving turned on, won't it take that single 40000 byte packet and shove it down one T1 because it came in as a single packet..?

There is no single 40k packet at the router. The sending host is fragmenting the packet to 1500 byte IP fragments, because a 40k packet cannot be sent over Ethernet.

*If* there were a 40k packet, PPP might fragment it and distribute it over the multilink members, but that is a local configuration issue.
