Multiple Modems

[dmiles]

Has anyone seen the program Midpoint Teamer? (www.midcore.com) It allows you to use multiple modems at once, as long as you have multiple ISP's and multiple phone lines. I didn't think that this was possible under Win 95/98. How do they do this?

It is perfectly possible to use multiple modems
spontaneously in Win XX. There is no magic.
It just works by design. Certainly you have
to configure each modem so they do not have
any hardware conflict with each other.

Ha, perhaps I was mis-interpreted...
What I really want to know is how to use 2 modems programatically. In other words, does someone has ideas/source code for a program that dials out on two modems to two seperate internet accounts, and then allows you to download/upload data on both modems at the same time.

Hi,

Another issue here is the default gateway of your tcp/ip protocol. Windows systems (normally) can't deal with multiple gateways and if your are using multiple ISP you need to have these multiple gateways ?

The same goes for Multilink on ISDN, you cannot multilink to two ISP's at a time.

Maybe i'm missing something but i'm very intrested in the sollution here !

Hmmm, as far as feasibility goes... I orginally started thinking about this when I went to Midpoint software's web site. (http://www.midpoint.com/connteam.htm) It seems as though it can be done, using multiple ISP's and multiple modems. I tried guessing how they did it, but I'm not that smart. I'm hoping someone out there is...
