    Search for docs on "channel bonding". The extent of my knowledge on
    it is this :
        . linux supports it
        . linux calls it "channel bonding" (other OSes call it other things)
        . both network interfaces must connect to the same host on the
                other end
        . the host on the other end must be configured to work with the
                channel bonding (may need to be a linux host, but I'm
                really not certain on that)

The remote desktop feature of Windows XP is really nice (and *novel*!).
As a Microsoft consultant can *remotely* disable the personal firewall
and control the system.  We'll ignore the fact that this tampering with
the firewall is not logged, and more importantly, that the firewall
isn't restored when the clowns from Redmond are done with their job.
