Maybe. If you create routes that will use one interface over the other (
i.e. all traffic destined for 157.0.0.0 use the modem, and all traffic for
158.0.0.0 use the cable )

This would have to be manually entered and in my opinion is not worth the
effort.

By default if both are connected, then only 1 of them will be used for all
traffic.

hello dusty. i don't think u understood my question. let me explain again.
i've one home pc running winxp home edition. i've subscribed to a cable
internet service which uses my LAN. so my lan card brings me cable
internet. which is only 25Kbps. so now i need to use the telephone line too
which gives me 40kbps. that would total up to around 65.
when i've conneted using dial up my cable interent's dialer (it has a
password verification system) doesnot show the connect option. so what i do
is first connet the cable and then the dial up. i then see two internet
conntions in system tray. to avoid confusion i've not selected any as a
default. so now whenever i start a web based applications the system seems
to utlilse the dial up(as its faster!). long back i'hd read in help and
support that winxp can actually make more than 1 net connections and utlilse
total bandwidth for better speed. i don't know how to do this.
as for what u said about 'routes' i don't really undertand all that. please
help.
