I was just wondering what the difference is between using:
1. interface Multilink x
and
2. Multilink virtual template x
inteface virtual-template x
commands to create a MLP. Currently, we have 2xT1 from one router to another router. I want to be able to combine the use of the 2 T1's to increase bandwidth and load balance.
Also, is it possible to create a VPN connection using bundled T1's?
Thanks in advance.

In your case, use the interface multilink command.
interface multilink 1
ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
encapsulation ppp
ppp multilink
multilink-group 1
interface serial 0
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
ppp multilink
multilink-group 1
interface serial 1
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
ppp multilink
multilink-group 1
ITS possible to create any sort of VPN connection through multilink interface. It just needs an Ip connectivity.

Thank you for your response. I will try it. Also, is it recommended to disable fair-queuing on the Serial interfaces? Thanks again.

It depends on the amount and type of traffic flowing on your serial interface. If you have ample bandwidth on your interface, you can as well disable it.
