Hi Jeff,

I've been testing this a couple ways:

1) Download 2 files from 2 seperate sites and add up the kb/s, which always
end up less than 5kbs.  Downloading from a single modem.  If i started
pinging hosts while this was happening the second modem will still not be
used.
2) Start 50 ping sessions to 5 different  hosts, the send lights would work
for both modems, but one would be receiving.

That isnt to be expected, is it?

Cheers,
Steve
