I would check with your isp for the availablity of this protocol. They have to be running the right setup for this to maaake it happen. I have had two different isp's and one was setup for this and the other was not ... good luck rockyolson@charter.net

Dual modems won't work out for you if they are not identical and not using the same driver but a dual capacity one single modem can solve your problem depending on your ISP at same time. Your message sounded like you want to attach two modems at same time.

Connecting to ISP with dual modem doesn't mean that you can exceed 56KB. I am talking about using one single phone line of course. Call your ISP provider and make sure that they allow you to use dual modem. Some ISPs do but some of them doesn't.

Windows 98 or NT won't let you to use two different modem drivers at same time.

Yes, you can do this. You do need to check w/ your ISP first to see if they support this protocol. Some companies, such as DIAMOND, make a dual (or shotgun) modem. And, I'm pretty sure that you need to use 2 phonelines as well. I may be mistaken(it happens rather often as of lately). :)

Can any body comment on whether one single IP address is alotted or two seperate for each modem ( By DHCP ). Having two seperate IP's will definitely cause problems and Having one will cause an IP conflict on the network , So how do you multilink ? I think that multilink is possible only on ISDN line as it has multiple channels on the same line and therefore one single IP can be alotted to multiple channels of ISDN .
