It would be interesting to know if 2 LG LSI 110 phones can be connected together on one machine to give a download speed of 230 Kbytes per second. :)

Yes. U can chain several to get slightly less than the sum of all. Enable EQL option in your kernel.

I was looking at precisely this kind of thing for combining my 1) MTNL dialup that terminates in the modem on a RH9 machines and 2) Tataindicom thinband that comes via a dlink dsl 'router' and bridged to my netgear mr814v2 router.

But I read that EQL serial line load balancing has to be supported by your ISP and most do not support it? http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue36/tag/1.html http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid7_gci522233,00.html

Also, in this case we have 2 ISPs. Complexity increases? if only marginally.

if you have successfully teamed using 2 dissimilar ISPs and adapters, then I would be interested in getting some tips-n-hints too.
