That being said, unless your backup software is multipath aware for lack of better terms, I am guessing you're wrong:) No trunk can spread "single conversations" over more than one phys connection. Most trunks provide benefit for failover, _and_ multiple connections aggregated over the n links. So you might get 4 400Meg sessions as an example but not 1 >1G session. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
