This was true with the origional "bonding", before MPPP became
prevalent. AFAIK, this is no longer the case. If you have two Bearer
channels that can make outgoing calls to your ISP's dialup terminal
server (let me qualify this as a "digital ISDN" trunk to a capable
terminal server, which covers basically all 56k dialup banks now), there
should be nothing *technically* stopping you from establishing a MPPP
session outside of provider limitations on your account (RADIUS auth
should permit/deny you this access or configuration).
