I've never used EQL before, but wasn't this the whole point? - to balance the load between multiple modems? I know a group in Carbondale, IL that was doing this - they had 10 modem lines, 6 for a BBS, and 4 to an ISP. I don't believe the ISP had anything special set up for them, but they required 4 accounts (dial-in lines) to do this. For $100/month, they were getting better than ISDN connection.

I suspect that he is interested in bonding 2 modems together, to get double the throughput. However, for this to work, your ISP has to support it. And I suspect that the normal $20 unlimited account won't support this, along with dialing into the account twice. I'm not sure where you would look today for ISPs that support this, since the need for speed has been met for many, though not all, with "broadband" solutions. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Vidiot Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 8:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Increase bandwidth with two analog modems? >Just want to ask if there is any package in Linux that can utilise two >analog modems at a time so as to increase the bandwith from about 56 >kbps to about 112 kbps?

If you are hoping to cut your download time in half... nope. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
