Hi,

I'm hosting a http server on a host on my home network. Presently, the
bandwidth I am getting from my isp (through isp's lan network) is about
100 kbps. I need a bandwidth of about 1 mbps. the max affordable
bandwidth i can get from any isp for each connection is 100kbps.

can i somehow aggregate several connections from different isp's to get
the requuired bandwidth?
if so, how do i do that?

all nodes on the home network run redhat 9 (2.4.x)

You cannot aggregate the bandwidth of multiple connections.

Look into wireless ISPs. Mine provides 1800 up and 3000 down for $179
/ month, so my d/l is double a T1 which would be $500 / month. The
antenna on the roof isn't the prettiest thing in the world, but I can
live with it. Uncapped, I had D/L ~4600 which is awesome to behold.
A customer downtown gets >6000 from the same ISP.

If radio is not available in your area, then the LARTC mailing list
should be searched for Ron Senykoff's posting of 30 Mar 2004.
