We have a Portmaster 2E with 2 modems that we use to connect to another
Portmaster 2E. We have a location name & script set up that dials the
modems. Both modems dial the same number, as defined by the script. In
the past, this was ok, as we could index into the middle of our hunt group,
making sure that we came in on 1 portmaster (we now have 4 portmasters for
our incoming dial-in pool). Now, US West has changed our hunt group, and
we are not able to index in. The only possibility now is to dial the main
number of the hunt group. The hunt group consists of 105 lines, which
means that we are using 4 Portmasters to handle the incomming modem lines.
Dialing the main hunt number means that you could connect to any 1 of the
four Portmasters.

Is there any way to have both modems connected & have full communication??
Multilink PPP seems like an option, but I am unsure on how to configure.
Any help would be appreciated.
