If you control both end points of the dry loops connecting say a Cisco
6160 ATM DSLAM in the POP, out to a customer router with an ADSL WIC
card, you can use IMA muxing. Bonding in the ATM layer. I have not
personally set it up, but I believe that is how Covad is accomplishing
their bonded T-1 product. Supposed to be much lower overhead than mlPPP.

Alternately, XRoads makes an appliance for mlPPP.
