Shotgun modem technology

[deus79]

How does it work?

 

[Edski]

it basically logs on to your ISP twice

 

[Looney]

Um, not exactly... it's like strapping two modems together back to back. You'll need two phone lines and an isp that accepts shotgun modems (they'll need two dialups). As you can see, it's not worth it. For the cost of two phone lines you could get DSL or cable.

I can't get DSL or cable

Moralpanic pretty much sums it up. The ISP I work for only offers it on certain phone numbers though because of the modem pools you need to dial into. It's pretty simple to set up, it's just an option in dial up networking.
