This is a little tricky, so multilink ppp was created :) : So it is not possible for the two different modems to be running off different IP's and say each downloading a seperate file. What I am seeing as the situation for me would be this: two PPP connections oblivious to eachother running seperate sessions, or maybe the connections be known to eachother just for load handling between the two sessions using TCP/IP clients. Again, my ISP doesn't support multilinking on their side so whatever needs to be done must be done on my side. There has got to be something out there that will do this. Jeffrey J.
