SUMMARY
=======
This article provides background information about dual-channel ISDN connections
to MSN, The Microsoft Network. With dual-channel ISDN, connection speeds up to
128,000 bps are available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Dual-channel ISDN uses multilink PPP (MP), which is an extension to the standard
point-to-point protocol (PPP) for using TCP/IP over a dial-up connection. MP
allows for combining both channels of an ISDN line connection to act as a single
large pipe for a PPP connection. MP uses two channels on an Ascend MAX, one for
each B channel of the ISDN line.
If an Ascend MAX has only one channel available, a connection is attempted to a
channel on another MAX. When this happens, most connections fail.
