What is Modem Doubling?
Modem doubling is a simple means of increasing the speed of a dial-up Internet connection by essentially making use of two standard 56kbps modems to create a double link with the Internet Service Provider. The end result is a structure that not only makes it possible to receive and transmit data more quickly, but also provides an excellent backup in the event that one of the two connections is interrupted for some reason. The actual process of modem doubling can take place in two different ways. The fist is known as modem bonding. This approach is perhaps the most commonly used method, since the vast majority of ISPs are configured to support modem bonding. Essentially, this form of modem doubling will make use of the Multilink Protocol Plus component and essentially route half of the data packet from the service provider to each modem connection. At the end user level, the two halves are seamlessly recombined. The result is a faster connection speed for the dial up user. At the same t
