When dialing in, the first modem will first connect. After it has connected, the second modem will then connect and the two connections will be bonded together. Assuming that both modems support either the x2 or V.90 connection protocol, and each phone line supports "56k" connections, then the connection speed can be up to 106,000 bps for incoming traffic and up to 67,200 bps for outgoing traffic.
RIGHT click on the connection icon in the system tray (next to the time
display) and the LEFT click on Status. Next click on the Details button.
Clicking on Suspend will cause the second modem to hang up.
If you have suspended the second modem, clicking on Resume will
cause it to dial in again.
