I'm not an expert in ppp, but I have been immersed in the ppp man page
for the last couple three days.

Assuming that your two ADSL lines are from the same ISP, and they
support multi-session ppp, then yes, FreeBSD's ppp claims to be able to
bond the two ppp sessions into a single datapipe.

Say:

man ppp

and search for MULTI-LINK
