Multi-Link PPP analog devices?

[Chuck Young]

Greetings,

I know this is slightly off-topic, but I hope someone can help.

Recently I tested a Multi-Tech Systems "Proxy Server" that touts the ability
to accept ethernet traffic on a 10base-T port and automatically dial up on
three 56k connections and bond them together to back up the primary access
channel, acting as a gateway router.  Unfortunately, it does not pass IPSEC,
and there are no plans for them to modify the underlying O/S to do so.  This
bummed me greatly as that is what I needed.

Do any of you know of an "appliance" that might/will act in this capacity?

I remember Linux using this trick years ago and a company called Fatpipe
developed a solution for NT, but that is as far as I have travelled down
this road.

Any ideas, comments, etc. are welcome.

TIA,
