[ale] EQL and linux

I have found a way to get my company to sell Linux servers YAH!!
Many of our customers are running NT/SNA Server  and 98.
Each 98/NT station has a modem, seperate phone line, and a
seperate internet account.

I use IP_MASQ to connect them to the internet via one 56k and
would like to use EQL but no luck so far.  The funny thing is, in
Winblows 98 it works with multilink enabled

I have read all the docs I can get my eyes on.  Most links on the web
point back to the same readme/docs so no help there.
I have tried Indyramp.com which has the most recent Info I can find.

Currnetly running 2.0.34 Redhat 5.1
2 hayes 28800 v.34
P200MMX


ppp0 and ppp1 each will work individually but not together

I compile with eql as a module then load it (eql.o)

/root#ifconfig eql 10.0.2.1 mtu 1006
then I connect ppp0 and ppp1
/root#eql_enslave ppp0 28800
/root#eql_enslave ppp1 28800
/root#route add default eql

the route table then shows
Kernel IP routing table

0          0 eth0
0.0.0.0               0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0           U
1006 0          0 eql
0.0.0.0         208.214.254.7   0.0.0.0           UG           1006
0          0 ppp1

at this point nothing works. Both modems are connected nothing happens
What next?

Anyone has any experience with this EQL and IP_MASQ ?
Do I need to have a static Ip address for the Linux machine
or something?
What did I miss?

The MASQ works great with without eql


Thanks  Andy
