| cantgetcable Tl Posts: 14 USA | Posted - 3/8/2006 11:31:15 PM    I recently purchased a creative de5621 v92 external, flashed firmware and d/loaded latest drivers and I couldn't be happier. until we got dsl at work. long story short, i am looking for the software to bond two 56K modems to increase up and down speeds! Anyone have a solution? (dsl...cable...not available...satellite 2 expensive...) Bill J Cunningham |
| v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 3/10/2006 8:56:11 PM  Multilink capability is built-in to Windows 95 through XP http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307849&sd=tech Search: Unless your ISP provides for multiple logins on same account, you will need 2 modems, and 2 ISP accounts. Aloha! Richard. |
| cantgetcable Tl Posts: 14 USA | Posted - 3/11/2006 5:59:53 PM I admit I dont understand the technology, but will using 2 modems and two isp's with the windows multilink allow a faster connection (as far as up and down speeds?). or, will I have to use a program like midcore's midpoint connection software? or something else like it , as I believe midcore is defunct. I am trying to achieve as fast a dial up connection as possible. Bill J Cunningham |
| v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 3/12/2006 4:28:43 PM You'll want 2 accounts at the same ISP (or a single account at an ISP that supports multilink); and, you don't need any special software. You will have more bandwidth = faster - but it still won't be 'close' to broadband. The latency (the time it takes a packet to make roundtrip from modem to your isp's first router & back) is on the order of 10 + times higher on dialup than with broadband. Aloha! Richard. |
| cantgetcable Tl Posts: 14 USA | Posted - 3/12/2006 6:19:48 PM Thanks for the information richard, you have been very helpful as has this board! Any improvement in dial up speed is worth it. Verizon says to keep checking for dsl availability but who knows if it will ever be here! I will try the dual modem setup and post about it in the future. Bill J Cunningham |
