Demon don't support multiply connections like this - the second
connection gets all the incoming packets as the system [that doesn't
know about what you are trying to do] assumes the old connection has
died, hence only one of you modems is getting stuf in.

It would seem [according to your findings] thjat routing is not
completely cancelled on the first connection, so your system is still
able to send packets out OK. I'd test to check this though - you may
find packets sent down the first connection are just leaking out into
the ether...
