(PM) bonding 2 B channels

Here's the hypothetical scenario.

Customer with Livingston ISDN OR, I have Netserver 8/I-modem.

The 8 B channels connected to my Netserver are in a hunt group with one
number for customers to dial.

Dial on demand initiated by OR to one of my B channels on Netserver.
(authenticated with radius and static IP)...customer has 64K ISDN for
access to the Internet.

Is it possible to set up the Office Router on customer end, and Netserver
on my end, such that in times of heavy traffic the OR can automatically
dial a second B channel to get 128K (not necessarily on the same BRI on my
end as they are in a pool)

...another ISP is offering this prospective customer a slightly cheaper
solution (intital and monthly) using a 486 running Linux, with ISDN
adapter...dial on demand, and IP masquerading.

I personally think that the Livingston OR would be more stable, and
require less maintenance.

Any thoughts on what could be done here?
