2 modems simulataneously - single modem speed

[Nerfherder]

Hi Nerrherder, following on from your post I have just looked at Router Sentry; my impression is that it "splits" a connection whereas I am wanting to "combine" two connections? Or am I missing a function it performs?

It splits the traffic between two adsl connections, the idea is to have one connection that is local only traffic and the other international only.

After fiddling most of the morning trying to setup and run a VM on the geriatric laptop I have decided the easiest thing BY FAR will be to run two machines each with own modem.
My only concern is that an external site I want to connect to may think I am sharing my account because of the different IP addresses but looks like that would be the case anyway using a VM.
Thanks to all that contributed!!

Here is how I do it, yes I know it is useless for the usb/ethernet problem
Even this scheme is pretty braindead, but works well for me.

2x iBurst network modems
1x mikrotik router

The magic all happens in the mikrotik
every second new outgoing connection it marks
modem 1 handles all unmarked connections
modem 2 handles all marked connections

So this then basically splits the traffic in 2 and each modem gets a share to handle.

For WinXp maybe this would help

Seems that this forces Xp to randomly use one of the network connections.

Did a similar thing except I went crazy on the Mikrotik rules, had an insane rule base but it worked like a dream
