111142 2003-01-05 06:23:00 Has anyone tried using this option in WinXP? I have it set up and it all works very well except for one thing, there is the option to only dial one modem and then as traffic dictates to then dial the other modem up, as traffic slows again it will disconnect the 2nd modem, well thats what it is meant to do, I can't get it to dial the 2nd modem no matter how much data is being transferred. Any ideas?

Cheers, Jeff.

While I have always known it has been possible, I was unaware that our ISP's supported it. Things must have moved on since that day I guess.

Unless of course by the ISP not supporting the splitting of data packets, it will not allow XP to implement the second modem?

111145 2003-01-05 08:08:00 No ,the 2nd modem works perfectly, I'm using Xtra, which doesn't strictly allow multilinking, but I won't tell you how I am doing it, in WinXP Pro you have three options,
dial only the 1st available device
dial all devices
or the one I can't get to work,
dial devices only as required
