All this talk of MP

All this talk of MP versus Livingston's load balancing has gotten me
thinking. A few months ago, people who worked here before me, were doing
load balancing with NT. I know that this is technically not possible.
However, I guarantee you that somehow they were doing it. At the time we
had a Xylogics Annex. They set up a PM2 in our server room for this
purpose however. So my question for you folks, as you all seem to pretty
will versed in the world of Livingston products, how in the hell did they
do this? I know that it was definitely NT and not Linux, as I AM aware
that Linux and its EQL are fully capable of the proprietary line
balancing. Is there something else in NT that would allow you to push an
equal amount of traffic over two seperate dial-up links? I cannot
offer you details on this operation, because these individuals no
longer work here, but I have confirmed that they were doing this. I'm
looking forward to hearing your responses.
Sincerely,
Shawn
