Ben, it sounds like the Multilink part isn't working right. Try a 'debug
ip packet' and see if your pings are all going across one B-channel
maybe? Also, I think you need to add 'encapsulation ppp' on the physical
BRI0 interface. You might also change to 'dialer load-threshold 2', I
think Stephen Hildebrandt was saying there was a bug in (not sure which
versions of) IOS when it is set to 1, that it worked sporadically.
Chad
P.S. You say one end or the other will bring up the second B-channel.
You have both sides setup to dial then? Isn't that unusual? If you do
have it set up that way, I'm pretty sure you only want the
load-threshold to be set on one side.
