Each pppd process supports one link, but you may have as many pppd
processes and links as your system may accomodate.

Hi,

 
I have to run linux pppd as a server and need to support many ppp
clients. I'm currently using linux pppd-2.4.2.

Would you please tell me if the linux ppp has support for multi
channels? If so, by default how many links it supports?

If we have to increase the support for more connections, what needs to
be done both in pppd and in kernel ppp?

 
I'll appreciate any help or pointers in this regard.

Thanks in advance.
 

Regards,

Kumar

Not sure what you mean. Each client must come in over their own link-- eg
you need a phone line and modem for each client (assuming they ae coming in
over phone lines). You cannot use one modem for 10 people at once.
Each link has one ppp session running it. You can have as many ppp sessions
running as you wish, one pppd for each session. 
I do not know what the limit is, probably memory.
