13. A method of establishing a connection between a mobile station and a terminal of a connectionless network through an apparatus, comprising:
providing multiplexed radio links between the mobile station and the apparatus;
successively storing radio frames sent through the radio links in radio link protocol (RLP) frame memories of the apparatus, wherein the number of the RLP frame memories correspond to a number of radio links between the mobile station and the apparatus;
successively converting the radio frames into PPP frames;
delivering PPP frames sent from the terminal to PPP frame memories, wherein the number of PPP frame memories correspond to the number of radio links between the apparatus and the mobile station; and
converting the PPP frames into radio frames for transmission through the radio links.
