In one distribution SuSE forgot to activate multilink in the kernel. I don't 
know exactly if it was 8.2, but perhaps you take a look in the configuration 
of your kernel. If it was forgotten you have to rebuild your 2.4.20er kernel.

If multilink is active in the kernel:
Have you tried the /etc/ppp/peers/isdn/avm-ml sample?
If yes: What is the output of the pppd and in /var/log/messages?
