>>Most ISP's won't let you log in twice at least not for $20. This is, of course, the limitation. I just went through a search of ISPs in the Durham area, and many of them let you log on twice, but for a dollar an hour while logged on twice, or something similar. Pretty expensive pretty quick. My ISP (a smallish regional) has a 10.95 price for two year (cancelable) contracts. No simultaneous logons, but 21.90 for two of them. Not that I'm tempted. If I get another access it will be with a different ISP for redundancy. But this is a way to make good use of the redundancy you're paying for anyhow, with fewer restrictions than multilink PPP. Of course, I don't know how well this particular thing works; just another option to evaluate. Spots PS. I originally fatfingered "multiplink PPP" typing this post. I like it. We should start a fatfinger phrase contest. Here's entry 1 <G>.
