Seems possible, but I haven't looked at the white papers on it.

From the Trancell documentation I saw, they do seem to indicate that
you'll most likely need one account per channel. I also know that since
most ISPs make it a part of their acceptable use policy that you only get
one dialin at a time unless your paying for different service, that you
probably won't get away with doing multiple logins for long.
