Does anyone out there have any comment on some of the new, bonded pipe products like the WebRamp M3 or Transendmodem? From what I understand they are saying that multiple lines can be aggregated to act as one, virtual line.
My question is: will the ISPs support multiple sessions from the same account (name/password) without charging N X the number of lines per hour?
I can't see how, without drastically changing the authentication methods used by just about every terminal server out there.
If yes, then these like like cheap alternatives to ISDN. If not, is there any benefit to aggregating?
This type of technology is best used for dedicated connections, IMHO, at least until Ascend, Livingston, Cisco, and other companies that make big dial-in boxes support it. BTW, this question might be better asked of inet-access, since there's more discussion of dialup issues there. ********************************************************* J.D.
