I assume you're speaking of multilinking 2 dial-up modems. Not much to read. If using Win98, just set up a new connection and select the multilink tab to add second modem. You need the account with ISP, although I've seen it work w/o having a multilink acct. You can try it for 30 days free at aodinc.com, providing they have a # in your area code.

heck sarge (army?), i was thinking maybe 4 modems? possible?
also, my modem now is internal, can i add a USB to multi link? i didnt think about the account thing, thats another (price of isp acc.)for every modem?
Also, i am guessing that i need another phone line($) for every additional modem?
my point is that if this is the case, there is no need for me to go any farther because the price just got out of hand.
2x isp=$30
2x ph.line=additional $10
tot=38 bucks to go with 4=around $75
does this sound right?
thats the money end

i am using Win ME, but thats probably about the same as98.
i thought that the modems had to somehow be physically connected by a wire or .....?
ur saying that as long as i have an slot open, just put the new modem in....? Or the USB way?

what about using 2 different ISP's? ATT + NetZero.....
point-using a free ISP along with original ISP?

cost of cable=somewhere around $40-$60.
i had cable once and got rid of it becaus of all the problems. and i hear its even worse now.
there help desk got to kno my voice, THATS bad!

i really do appreciate ur help here.

Nope - its gotta be the same ISP with the same dialup number. You need a separate phone line for each modem. You can use any kind of modems you want, but USB and software controlled modems each hit the CPU resources pretty hard - so if you use USB, your internal really needs to be a 100% hardware controlled modem. The most *reliable* "high speed" connection is ISDN, but it's not cost effective for the 128k it gives you. Cable, DSL, or satellite is a lot faster at the same price or less.
