If your ISP supports it, you can load balance two modems with PPP & the EQL
driver. You'll have to call your ISP to find out (and the front-line techs
certainly won't know, you'll have to bug them until they forward you to someone
with a clue).
I have been modem-free(TM) since 1996, so I'm a bit rusty this stuff myself ;-)
I found a copy of the serial IP load balancing HOWTO in the kernel source,
generally found at: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/eql.txt
and there's a short mention of it in the NET-3-HOWTO:

Search for Linux & EQL on Google for more...
