It's something I'm interested in doing (Julian Elischer has had a
multi-homed ppp working in the past I believe), but I can only get
my hands on 3 modems at the moment and would find it extremely difficult
to get a hold of 4 phone lines (even if I had the extra modem) :(
The alternative is trying to do it through my ISP. As it happens, I
currently have access to two accounts with my ISP, (awfulhak.demon.co.uk
and raffles.demon.co.uk) - but I'd need some assistance .... ??? ... any
takers there at Demon (cc sent) ? It may be a good publicity thing, and
you could sell "multi-connection accounts" for more money ;)
