I have a 33.6 usr modem on my com2 right now. I also have my old Zyxel 1496E modem on the com1. (mouse on ps/2 port). I have heard under os/2 you could have two modems connect to your ISP, doing PPP connections and os/2 would use both PPP connections. It would do use the extra bandwidth of the second modem. I would assume you'd then have two IP addresses but I'm not sure. My question is, in win95, if I try to launch the second modem, win95 tells me that I have already a connection made, and to hangup first. I have heard that NT 4.0 can, like os/2 do this, but does anybody know of a way to do this under win95? Perhaps using another TCPIP stack? Are there advantages to switching to either trumpet or cores internet connect? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dominique Cormann dcormann@netcom.ca

There is no way of doing it under Win95. You can only use one Dial-Up connection at a time. You also can't have someone logged on into your Dial-Up Server and then try to use Dial-Up Networking to call to your ISP, although you can use Hyperterminal or just about any other Comm program to dial out. It really stinks, but that's the way MS made it. Win NT 4 has what is called PPTP (point-to-point tunneling protocol). It will allow you to use two modems to connect to your ISP and theoretically double your throughput. But I haven't found any ISP's out there that have this capability on any of their systems as of yet. They say it is coming but they don't know when.

I have never heard of this being possible before, and the idea of calling into a remote system and obtaining two IP addresses would be very hard to do. I have used the NT 4.0 system of being able to use more than one modem (5 in fact), the machine that NT4.0 requires you to dial into also needs to be running the NT4.0 RAS server and ready to make the connection with all 5 modems. I think ideas of handling 2 modems in Windows 95 as a software only solution is technically infeasible, only due to the fact that I have never seen it done, and not for any other reason. Please let me know if anyone discovers anything to the contrary - I would love to use both my modems at the same time as well!!!

I don't get it. I'm assuming that these two modems are accessing a single phone line (otherwise there wouldn't be any problem). But this would imply that the extra bandwidth is obtained from the additional modem. But the bandwidth limitation is surely on the line, not the modems. And you can have several sessions on the same line using a single modem. I quite often have three or four file downloads going at the same time. Does the extra modem really do anything? John

I think your assumption here is your problem. From what he stated he has two lines. The problem is that with the two modems up and running to ISPs at the same time then the routes get in the way. I don't have a solution because I don't have two modems and have never tried this but I can see where the problem could be.
