Frame Relay isn't PPP. Yes, there is PPP over Frame Relay, but don't
go there...

I doubt this will work. Since you need ONE source of MP. What happens
with Bitsurfers is the BITSURFER runs MP INTERNALLY. So instead of one
MP session with 4 lines, you have 2 MP sessions of 2 lines each.

I think you will need an internal ISDN card that has 2 BRIs, or two 1 BRI
card that are confirmed to use the NT MP stack and not their own.
