Has anyone linked up a double modem ? Can it be done with internal modems ?

If your asking can you install 2 or more modems in a single system the answer is Defiantly
Yes ..

You can install as many modems as you have open slots and irq’s available ..

If you asking about that modem that is a hybrid 2 modems in one card yes they also can be installed .
I have never done one of these hybrids but they are not that hard to configure,
Com 1 uses IRQ 4
Com 2 uses IRQ 3
Com3 shares IRQ 4
Com4 shares IRQ 3

By installing a Hybrid that is set to Com1 and Com 3 you can share and operate with out much hassles
Just remember to keep Com2 on IRQ3 enabled and avoid the conflict
The last Hybrid modem I looked at was an ISA card and Isa does Not share IRQ’s on the same slot well at all.
Diamond was the brand Modem I looked at.

do you mean...... Aggregate your bandwidth.
If you have more than one telephone line, and an extra modem, you can potentially double your connection speed when using Windows 98 Dial-Up Networking by adding the second modem to your original connection.

Once the second modem is installed, open the Properties dialog of the desired Windows Dial-Up Networking connection profile, click the tab that says Multilink and add the second modem to the connection. (Your ISP or dial-up server must support Multilink PPP.) You can use both modems to support one connection at an aggregated bandwidth.


Your modems do not have to be from the same vendor or even connect at the same speed.
