[ale] Re: how to use Two modems in linux(mandrake 7.1) or what ever works.

[Allen, Paula J.]

Actually, does anyone know how to do this or where to point me to?  This is
something that I have been searching through howto's and such for and have
not had any success.  I'll go ahead and check out his suggestions, but I am
pretty new to Linux myself.  This would be a major boon for me, since my
last remaining networking piece in NT is our modem teaming software.  It is
powering a 40-node WAN, so the teaming is pretty important.  There is no
high-speed access available.  Thanks ...pj

my guess (and it's only a guess...i don't want to start an argument) is that
someone replied to his post to the ale list without sending to ale at ale.org
as well, and said they've never used 2 modems with linux.

AFAIK, proper ettiquite is, if you don't know the answer to a question,
don't reply to it.  you may have had good intentions, but replying with
"we've never done this" makes you come off as kind of a jerk
