Once upon a time Helio Coelho Jr. shaped the electrons to say...
> Anyone running a multlink load balanced syncronous PPP
>between a Cisco (7000 series) and a IRX ? If so, is the connection

If anyone does I'd love to know.

> Is it true that if you have different speeds in the links
>(Ex.: one is a 64kbps and the other is a 128kbps) it can adversely
>affect the performance ?

Yes. When doing multiline connections it is always advisable to have ALL
pipes be the same speed. It reduces problems with packets getting out of
order which can cause retransmissions and added latency.
