[LARTC] Multiple Internet Interfaces

Here is the setup I have. I have 3 network cards in my linux machine. 1
network card (eth0) goes to my internet network (192.168.0.0). Network Card
2 (eth1) and Network Card 3(eth2) go to the internet via 2 cable modems
whose address is determined by dhcp. I can get either cable modem to work
alone but I can't get them to work together. I would really like to be able
to combine the 2 into 1 and have it detect a bad link as well in case i have
to unplug 1 cable modem.

Thanks!

As far as I know, the cable modems each share the same bandwidth.  They 
would also share the same subnet, so if one link goes down, wouldn't 
they both be down?  I can't see using more than 1 modem for each coaxial 
line.
