Sir, actually I am not frustrated, but am indeed looking for a breakthrough, of increasing bandwidth.

Also dispatch-proxy as a crude first step. And they work for multiple ISPs and VPN. If they could do it, then why not GNU/Linux including Debian?

Yes Sir, perhaps it is time that I did. > Perhaps it is time to look at what your original problem is, in > the hopes of solving that? In fact Sir, I have no problem with any particular ISP, but I have multiple number of them, including Optical Fibre to the Home, ADSL through copper cable and mobile networks, and want to use them simultaneously. It was a brainwave that I had because of the existent serverless distributed downloading like Bittorrent and p2p file transfer mechanisms. If it could be done with p2p and bittorrent, then why not with server based systems and multiple ISPs? This was my line of reasoning. Anyway, thank you for engaging with me. Let's see if something positve comes out of this interaction, or seeds some breakthroughs in some specific stack of Neural Nets not necessarily mine. Sometimes I lament that I didn't learn computing as a university course. But that is _only_ sometimes. I am perfectly content with HEP physics and all of you around me. My little needs are already fulfilled by Debian and Knoppix. Regards, Rajib
