Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.42a) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk HI all, Thanks for the serial port info so I can add more modems.....seems the shared irq cards are the way to go. Question for those with this as their special category ;^) ..... How is it if indeed at all possible to have 2 modems dial out to two dialin accounts at my ISP and have modem traffic go through one modem or the other depending on which is free or something like this? i.e. increase my bandwidth for my school Internet access. I feel certain that FBsd is smart enough for this one and probably not that tricky but I have no idea where to start looking for the help...what is the topic called??? Any personal experience out there on this one folks? Xmas coming up...wish you all good cheer Keith Spencer BSD newbie & IT coordinator @ St Margaret Marys College in Townsville Australia
