first you need two telephone connections and a single internet connections (check from your isp if multiple loggin are supporte. BSNL supports 2 loggins) next if you have win XP you need nothing else just connect the two modems set up dial up networking and enable multiple connections and there your internet speed doubles.

Its not that bad guys i used this setup in a remote area of the country and it works good and is economical. How? well BSNL offers a telephone for internet that is for Rs 499/- per month unlimited use take two such connections second take a bsnl account (free from night 11 to morning 8) so effectivly you pay Rs 1000/- per month dor a 110Kbps line. Not that bad. what say you?

If your area doesn't have a broadband connection, only then its worth it. Else, it is just something "cool" to try out :D
