| 222674 | 2004-03-15 06:29:00 | ie if you had three computers networked, and they all had seperate modems, phone lines and dial-up accounts, could you pool the three conections to have an effective 168k connection? The reason why I am asking is because here at uni we all have our own phone lines and dial-up aco****s, if we were to network the machines and pool the resources, it should provide some fairly grunty access speed compared to a single 56k connection... Any help on this topic would be much appreciated |

| 222675 | 2004-03-15 06:49:00 | The real challenge would be finding any ISP that could or would combine the 3 into one. Otherwise you have what you have, 3 x 56k connections. All independent. |

| 222679 | 2004-03-15 18:29:00 | Why not pool ya money and get a jetstream connection, (the FAST one), then use a proxy program or ics to share the connection... ?..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 222680 | 2004-03-15 19:28:00 | I am pretty sure on my searchs of trademe i came across hubs(switches) for offices and it had 2 56k modems in them as well..Makin up for the 112k.. | MrBeef (342) | ||
| 222681 | 2004-03-16 01:27:00 | But it will work only if the ISP will provide the capability. To the best of my knowledge, no ISP in NZ does this. They want you to buy "broadband". That is technically better. It is worth their while. It's not worth their while to make an inferior mode available for a few people, and then spend a lot of time giving support when the people can't make it go. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 222682 | 2004-03-16 03:03:00 | Well i just hit up google for ... NZ ISP Multilink and it comes up with www.caverock.net.nz ... if you search the page (ctrl + f) for multilink you will find that they do...but however that page is copyrighted 1999 |

| 222683 | 2004-03-16 04:28:00 | Well done. Ask Caverock how many customers are using it. :D And if they remember how to enable it. I'd guess "none", and "no". | Graham L (2) | ||
