Hello Lindsay. Just wanted to say that I've just begun "playing" with EQL as well. I've been meaning to do this for the past year or so, but never got around to it... Anyway, after a few hours, I do have everything working and everything is great - except for one thing. While my end will send data out both ports just fine, I only get data back from my ISP on one of the ports (or the other). It seems that I'll get data on one port (the first I brought up) for a random time and then it will switch over to the other / another port and data will come in from there for a while until it makes another change.... My ISP has a Livingston PM3 (which is supposed to work with EQL), and it *does* seem to work - except for that one (and, unfortunately, very important) thing above. With two modems, I get about 5KB/s via outgoing FTP, but I only get about 3KB/s via incoming FTP. (Even with this problem, I get better performance than with just one modem because all packet ACK's will go out the "unused" port which allows the FTP data stream to continue uninterupted.) Anyway, if you (or anyone) can help me out, or if I can help you out further, please let me know. I'd be happy to share more details if requested.
