i'm on 10.2.3 and use the apple internal 56K dial-up modem. i can't benefit frim DSL, but it seems it's possible to combine the speeds of 2 56K modems to one (112K) for pc's.
anybody has a light on how to synchronize 2 56 dial-up modems (my second modem is a 56k olitec usb modem) to a single speed? if nothing for X available, hints for pc are welcome too!!!!

Well, this is off-topic. But no, it isn't really feasible. You would need 2 phone lines, and (possibly, depending on the ISP's configuarion) 2 accounts for the ISP for 2 logged in user accounts.

It would be neat, to be able to round-robin the packet request(in an intelligent way), but it isn't practical, I don't think. Although, being able to do fail-over, keep track of who/what requested what, etc, and the other benefits of a dual-connection would be neat. It just doesn't seem too likely.
