Well, if you're talking about what I think you're talking about, it's not
quite that simple: you also need an ethernet switch that can support what
Cisco refers to as "trunking". If you can trunk 'em together, then you
can get their aggregate throughput -- it's quite nice (I even did this on
my PC back when I worked at Cisco). I suggest a google search, under the
"Linux" section, under "advanced search" (or somesuch), for trunking.
Trunking, in addition to aggregating your throughput, also has one other
nifty feature: it's fault-tolerant. One goes down, your connection is
still live, but with n-1 aggregate throughput.
(Here's the link to trunking on Google:
