Are you certain? NT4 supports MP natively. Of course, I've never heard
of bundling two MP connections in another MP connection, but I don't see
why it wouldn't work. You'd just have two layers of encapsulation, which
will add some overhead. NT wouldn't have a fine-grain control over each
channel, either, but it would be able to control whether a TA tries to
connect at all.
Eicon makes a quad-BRI ISA card that is supported under NT. Whoever was
looking for an ISDN solution involving more than 128k might find it
useful: http://www.eicon.com/quad/default.htm

ISDN itself is merely a collection of 56k or 64k channels. The "128k"
moniker is misleading, it's really just 2x64k. Latency is the difference.

I think you're confused. NT doesn't do MLLB, it does MP. MLLB is
proprietary to Livingston, and is only available on platforms where
someone was bored enough to implement it (Linux, FreeBSD, etc.).
By all accounts on this list, NT does MP rather well with analog modems
(compared to it's DOS-based siblings, anyway).
