Cal- I think what you are considering is what is known as an ISDN connection. Earthlink was promoting this type setup a few years ago but it never was very popular due to difficulty in setting it up, the additional expense ( required paying for a second ISP connection) and the increased speed wasn't that great. If I recall it required both modems be installed on one PC which acted as the hub for the network. You might take a look at this page. Maybe it will help answer someof your questions. http://www.modemhelp.org/isdn.html Hope this helps, John Dinges -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
