Sounds like you're trying to take a DSL, cable, and possibly a T1 or other technology and trunk them for combined throughput. That isn't possible because you'd have packets in the same stream taking different routes and TCP/IP doesn't allow for that, that I know of. I don't think any technology allows for that. For example an 8mbit DSL, 6mbit cable, and a T1 can't be combined to make a 15.5mbit connection. I suppose the same would be true if you were wirelessly connected to multiple networks.
I think you need to review your basic networking knowledge. We use packet switching, not circuit switching. Different packets within a single TCP/IP connection can most definitely take different routes to their destination. It might not be the optimal situation, but it is built to work that way.

I'd be curious about the relative green-ness of electronic versus paper bill paying.
you used how many watts of energy to have your computer on, to have your screen on, to have the modem on, and then all the downstream electronics from your house, compared to the energy it needed to produce, deliver and process the bill.
Are you assuming that all those electronic components would have been turned off otherwise? I hardly think that is a valid assumption. Whether or not I get an electronic bill, my computer, screen, router, etc. will all be turned on and suckling data from the sweet teat of the Internet.
If I understand it correctly, making changes to documents for tracking purposes isn't the patented part. The method of automating the whole process is what is patented.
Hey, another low UID Oregonian!
He's probably using Chromium on Linux, not Chrome 2 on Windows.
We now know for sure kdawson is not a Vim user.
Can anyone educate me on why a mandated cutting analog is a requirement of DTV?
The spectrum that analog TV uses was sold off so that companies like Verizon could use it for a new wireless network service. Can't really do that while analog TV broadcasts are still using the spectrum.
