tx... that sounds interesting... kinda like binding multiple 56K modems. yes, pls fwd the info... i would appreciate it. kinda pricey however. not only is IDSL more expensive for less bandwidth, now I gotta pay triple just to get the equivalent of regular DSL service :-) maybe I should just get satellite service (direcpc)

JoaT - ISDN: the network interface card does the trick. Most ISDN "modem" cards have the choice of aggregating the channels or not. ISDN = 2 channels 64 kbps + 20 kbps service channel. Usual configuration is 64 kbps for data, the other channel used as voice (analog) channels. When aggregated, you can have up to 128 kbps on two aggregated channels (paying twice the communication costs). Some CLECs deliver you ISDN (2 channels on one pair of cables) in place of wiring a second phone line if you request one. This is not real ISDN and you can't get 64 kbps on them. My supercharged QCharts turns at 400-1500 Bps, equivalent to 4Kbps to 15kps or less than 1/4th of ONE ISDN channel.
