I've been playing with the bonding feature of windows DUN that comes
with
the ISDN accelerator pack.  It allows an analog modem connection to be
set up for bonding (not just ISDN connections).  You need 2 modems and
2 phone lines, of course.
Does any ISP support this on their dialup connections?
I tried Istar, ACC Netmedia, and Magmacom; in all cases, the first
analog connection comes up OK, then it tries the second, but after
negotiating carrier, it hangs up a few seconds after (because it can't
get a bonded connection?)
If someone supported it, this could be a good poor man's ISDN.
With 2 56K modem connections this would be reasonably close to ISDN
speed.
ISDN line costs in Ottawa: ~$55/month, + $1/hr 7am-7pm mon-fri.
Realistically, you still need a regular analog line (~$17/mth)
Since you can manually bring up/down the second channel, you could
get by with just 2 analog lines (make the second channel your usual
voice line and only bring it up/down when necessary).
