No.   Look at your computer, and tell us how many modems you can
install in it.   Five?   Ten?   How many can your operating system
work with?  4?  16?  64?   192?   How much do you think Pacific Bell
is going to shove it to you for those lines, compared to how much
it would cost to get your own wideband satellite link from Hughes
or Pan Am?

See RFC1990, which you can find using the search engine you posted
from.  In practice, I've seen a thirtytwo port Cylades card with 32
modems used, but the results were less than satisfactory.

  1990 The PPP Multilink Protocol (MP). K. Sklower, B. Lloyd, G.

You are spewing to a lot of microslop newsgroups, which leads one to
suspect you are using windoze of some version.  You'd probably need
a special driver to handle this, much like the Diamond shotgun modems
(which combined two modems into a single entity) from a couple of
years ago. 

This all assumes you would be bonding connections to a single ISP.
Trying to dial in to multiple ISPs is possible, but requires that
each connection be a separate one - thus the chance of aggregating
bandwidth is nearly nil.

You are much better of sticking with your cable provider.
