Configuring MultiLink
Once you have all the mechanics set up, configuring MultiLink is easy. To begin, access the Dial-Up Networking folder. If you signed up with a new ISP, you'll need to double-click on the Make a New Connection icon and create a new connection just like you normally would.
Once you create the new connection, or if your using an existing connection, simply right-click on your connection icon and select Properties from the shortcut menu. When you see the connection property dialog box, select the MultiLink tab. Then, select the Use Additional Devices option to enable the MultiLink configuration page.
To configure your two modems to work together simply click the Add button. When the Edit Extra Device dialog box appears, click the Device Name dropdown arrow and select the second modem. At this point, you'll see your second modem appear on MultiLink tab, as shown in Figure A, and can click OK.
Figure A: When you select an additional modem, you'll see it on the MultiLink tab.
Wizard Note: If your ISP doesn't provide MultiLink accounts, but you have two modems, two phone lines, and accounts with two different ISPs, you can take advantage of a software program that works like MultiLink. MidCore, the company the made the software for the Boca Research Dynamic Duo, still exists and makes an Internet connection-sharing package that, among other things, includes a feature called Modem Teaming.
