Stacking is a significant overhead on a connection and is meant to take
care of the occasional unlucky call that falls across Maxen.

Even if it was supported on the Pipeline, I wouldn't recommend it.

One of the problems is that you have to eat quite a bit of Ethernet
bandwidth, especially on the unit which answered the original call.
