does anybody did this already ?

i have two choices, but the most to be is slackware linux.

i1ve found something using iproute2, but its not much likely to run in dyn ip mode. it has to know the net1s addr and other things that may cause this solution to be very painful ...

thakns in advance

i read that ...

but how to do it using dyn ip interfaces ?
i'd have to use ifconfig and cut data from it ?

thats what i was trying to avoid ...

but thank you for your input :)

If by DSL lines must be as one you mean that a Single file would download twice as fast you are wasting your time. Without a special ISP service it can not be done.

Yep channel bonding must be supported by your ISP, although I seem to remember a hardware appliance that claimed it could bond channels together, it was around $10k though.

Channel bonding really isn't meant for people at the residential level (which is where I am assuming you are doing this). Theres just no need for that type of bandwidth at a house (at least not right now).
