Hi,

I've been using OpenBSD for a while now, and pf is just spiffy beyond my
expectations.

But I still have these border gateways called "Cisco." Soon, our
"cisco" will have multiple T1 lines which are used simultaneously
through cisco express forwarding or some other technology. Obviously,
it's hard to get the sales folks to tell me what exactly is used on the
remote side. I'm told (and not surprised) that 2xT1 is still cheaper
than 1/15th of a DS3.

I was rather excited that OpenBSD now supports two different T1 cards,
and an HSSI card, and T3s, and so forth. But can OpenBSD be configured
with a cisco peer to "bond" two T1s into a double-wide pipe?

The cisco peer thing is key --- we use UUnet (aka MCI/worldcom), and
they terminate our T1s on cisco devices. I wish fiber to the curb was
truly happening so I could just purchase 3/10ths of a fiber 10baseT
port. Oh well.

Thanks!
