Two broadband ISPs and 1 PC, can it be done?

[Darren B]

Hi

I currently have a 600kbs cable modem on my home PC
(WinXP) connected via a NIC. I also have a wireless
network adapter sitting idle in the PC. I will be getting
a 512kbs ADSL connection as part of my home working on a
seperate laptop and intend to use a wireless router.

Question is, is it possible to use two seperate ISP
connections on the one PC or will there be conflicts? In
other words, broadband modem via NIC and ADSL router via
wireless NIC in same PC.

I would like to get a combined total of 1mbs but realise
I'm living in dreamland. I'm hoping to be able to be able
to share both connections so I could in practice get two
60KB downloads running at the same time, or indeed get a
128KB download in some P2P software.

Any ideas if this is possible?

Thanks

Darren

I've done a bit of digging around and came across this

Trial s/w which allows ISP-sharing. I'll check it out in
due course but still interested in hearing what others
have to say on this subject.

I have seen this question before and someone said it is not possible with
windows... but with linux you can.
I dont know if that is any help.
