Daft theory, but *could* it work?

If somone was to get 40 phone jacks and get a 56k connection from each of them and get 40 modems all glued together, would it be faster than DSL broadband?
 
40 is a bad number anyway. Go for 48, that would be TWO full T1s (which would be cheaper than 40/48 separate phone lines) ...

Then break 'em out with channel banks into DS0s, hang your modems, and rock on.

There are already RFCs for TCP over smoke signals and carrier pigeon (high latency transport, but possible, in theory).

FWIW

Windows has built in support for Multilink PPP but I don't know how it would handle 40 connections! 😛

I think 4 is the max (for Windows).
 
I've tried doing multilink PPP but it's been with out success. Apparently I don't have the modem required to do that, doesn't matter anyways now that I have broadband.
 
LOL i think it would be cool to get like 127 USB modems + 5 PCI modems + 2 seial modems and have all those multilink PPP'd... thats 7504kbps, faster than my cable modem ROFL.
 
It also depends on your isp, I managed to get two links going once when I worked for the isp I was connecting too, it wasn't that fast really, yeah I could download at 10K/s which back then was awesome, but yeah cable/dsl/wireless will end up being cheaper now-a-days, and latency will be lower. The isp I was with only supported dual multi-linking, anymore than that wouldn't work, heheh memories flooding back I even multi-linked a pstn and csd connection for the hell of it, dial-up and dial-up via mobile for those not in the know, adding that extra 9600bps was funny, and it actually made my latency worse.
 
Hmm, so its a nice idea, but in reality 48 modems all linked together wouldnt be that good if it even worked at all. Lesson = new tech > lots of old tech stuck together 😀

heh. T1s and T3s have been around for 40 years I believe. Sonet has to be around 20 years.
