Only if you want to bond two modems at a higher level than the TCP/IP
protocol. I.E. use two modems to carry the traffic of one TCP/IP
link.
The alternative, is to have two completely separate connections, and
send out packets over them both fairly randomly. These will get
answered, and sent back via whichever connection they came from.
Therefore sending data out randomly over two interfaces is a crude
form of load balancing.
In practice, it should work quite well.
John.
