Abstract
A remote communications server system enables multiple remote users simultaneous access to a network through a segmented design that distributes the processing of the connections among a combination of buses and processors. The system coordinates a plurality of independent communications links bonded together into a single channel to create a virtual connection to the network having a bandwidth greater than the individual links. The system supports a mixture of physical and multiplexed communication links and allows the intermixing of different types of links in a bonded channel. The system is scalable in that segments can be added as needed and the number of lines handled by a segment can be increased.
