Has anybody got experience with this?
I am trying to do this on local ISP (Demon)and have not had real
success with it yet.

I do not want to be referred to multilink PPP as that would involve
getting a new Kernel and I am very happy with 2.0.33 at the moment.

I can dial up both of the connections to my ISP fine and then bind them
both together to the EQL device. But I see no real speed improvement.
I have a SupraExpress 56K modem and a 33.600 US Robotics Sportster.
for some reason the SupraExpress is not hardly doing any work especially
when downloading. While uploading both of the modems seem to have eqal
amounts of traffic judging from the LEDs.
When I check on the devices with ifconfig the TX amounts are about the
same but RX is much more on the Sportster Modem.

I have tryed them both at the same speed and at different speeds and
setting the speed differences with eql_enslave but still no success.

Any ideas, working configurations?


Cheers

Hubba
