O.K.  First, I realized after reading my original post that the numbers I
put in where not exactly what I meant to say.  56kbps=56,000bps, which means
the 110,000kbps really means 110kbps.  Sorry about that.  Now, about the
connection.

I have to use two modems, and this requires two phone lines as well.  It
also requires that your ISP allows you to either log in twice, or provides a
Multilink account as part of their service (my ISP charges me another
$10.00/mo. for this).  Also, multilink capability is standard in Windows 98,
and I don't know if the dial-up networking upgrade for Windows 95 allows for
this.  I haven't tried it.  The setup is simple, however.  Once you have
both modems in the system and working, you right-click on your dial-up
connection in the dial-up networking folder, scroll down to properties and
click on it.  The tab all the way to the right should say Multilink.  Click
on that and then click on the fill in that says "Use additional devices" (at
least, I remember it saying that - I'm writing this from work and can't
remember the exact line as we don't have 98 machines here).  You then select
the additional device, and when you make your dial-up connection it will
automatically call using both modems.

I hope this helps.  If anyone has additional questions I would be happy to
try and answer them.  Thanks.

Kykle
