There's something out there called Trunking where you can make 2
network connections act as one. I think it may be called bonding in
Linux. In the past you took 2 PPP connections and bonded them.
Some high end switches have Trunking and Sun has Sun Trunking. Both
follow some 802.x standard that I can't recall.
Again, this would require cooporation from the ISP.
