windows MLPPP?

[saimike]

suppose i had a laptop with 2 pcmcia slots that can take 2 modem cards simultaneously (evdo, 56k, isdn, umts, etc).

assuming that 2 identical (evdo, etc) cards are inserted simultaneously and the pc recognises each instance of it, would using mlppp to double the download speeds be a windows function? or would special drivers/applications be required? i presume the network side needs (sprint, verizon etc) needs to support it too.

any help would be appreciated. plenty of info with regards to mlppp and cisco routers or isdn, but none for the particular application i'm interested in.

I'm guessing it would have to be a function of the modem drivers and just like with mlppp in real routers the other end is going to have to support it.

I could be wrong though...

spyordie007, i feel the same way. the other end will definitely need to support it. but i wasnt sure on the WinXP PC side which app/OS/etc handles it. so you're saying its the drivers?

if the drivers can recognise 2 instances of the card (ie. i have to install the drivers for each different card i plug in), then would it be able to do it? or would mlppp be a different beast altogether?
