Mpd supports both. There were some mistakes in multilink transmission
part of ng_ppp kernel module working in splitting mode that in some

8 months ago at 6-STABLE.

I updated my gateway using freebsd-update, and rebuilt my kernel after
making sure I had the latest sources. I proceeded to install mpd4 and
try out the configuration Nikos linked to. So far I haven't had any
success. I tried adding 'set bundle enable round-robin' since that's
how this is going to work on the download side of things, still
without success.

mpd.conf:
------------------------------------------------------------
startup:
        set console ip 127.0.0.1
        set console user username password
        set console open

default:
        load PPPoE
        open

PPPoE:
        new -i ng0 sam l0 l1
        set auth authname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        set auth password password
        set bundle enable multilink
        set bundle enable round-robin
        set iface idle 0
        set iface route default
------------------------------------------------------------

This config is not completely correct for multilink case since mpd-4.0rc1 due to changes: - Auth configuration (set auth ...) moved from bundle layer to lcp. It works per link now.
 - Default argument of open/close commands changed from iface to lcp.

I would recommend you something like:

default:
        new sam l0 l1
        set bundle enable multilink
        set bundle enable round-robin
        set iface route default
        
        link l0
        set auth authname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        set auth password password
        set link max-redial 0
        open
        
        link l1
        set auth authname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        set auth password password
        set link max-redial 0
        open

and finally, the log file:

Your peer looks very interesting. The first thing it does is not announcing multilink capabilities.

Than it rejects mpd's multilink options negotiations.

At this moment call probably passed from access concentrator (probably LAC) to access server (probably LNS). LNS in difference to LAC advertise miltilink support.

After peer rejected multilink once, mpd is not trying to negotiate it any more. I am not sure it is a correct behaviour, but Cisco manuals recommend to configure LAC in a way that avoids rejections.

User-land ppp seems to have specific workaround for this case while mpd does not. I don't very like this idea, but probably I could add this if you like to test it.

Why peer rejected you after second authentication without any reply is a question to your provider.

Second link in your case even has not tried to connect.
