After some investigation, it seems they are using teql on
Linux, which is different from bonding (bonding doesn't seem
to be able to use two different connections types, especially
when these are not ethernet). I'd like to aggregate one ADSL
line with a SDSL line. I'm not sure teql works like
ng_onetomany. Stephen Montgomery-Smith told me by private email
that he knew somebody who successfully used Linux and FreeBSD
together to do bonding. I really need to try it, I'm just
lacking some hardware at the moment.
