Connection Link Aggregation

[Al Zick <al%familysafeinternet.com@localhost>]

Hi,

We have very poor connectivity in our office. We have a satellite  
connection, but it is usually either very slow or simply does not
work at all. DSL, ISDN, T1, and cable are not available and even cell  
phones don't work very well here. We are willing to invest in more  
phone lines and modems. I was wondering if the following setup is  
doable. I want to connect 4 to 8 modems to a machine running NetBSD  
and then bind them and set the machine as a gateway/router for the  
rest of our network. Can I bond them in such a way to achieve  
transfer rates of 224k or higher? Also, will this effect latency? I  
would really like less latency than what satellite offers.

Thanks,
Al
