combine 2 dsl outputs?

2 houses want wifi - any way to make both use both dsl connections? I can
set up the PAs but not sure how to combine the DSL streams.

Not easily or cheaply.

I was going to suggest something like the Hawking device in that
article, except it sounded like each house had its own DSL modem. To
combine the two DSL streams would require a cable across to the other
house, or a kludge of one of the DSL modems connected to an Ethernet to
802.11g converter, over to the Hawking device with another Ethernet to
802.11g converter, and then a wireless access point connected to the
wired router. A lot of hassle and money for questionable results.

I can't help but asking why he'd want to combine two DSL streams, it'd
be cheaper to pay for higher speed DSL at just one of the houses, and
share that DSL connection.

Failover. Duh.

What's a "PA" ? Is that like an AP but backwards?

Not easy over wireless but possible. There are load balancing routers
that will allow you conglomerate broadband connections. See:
http://www.edimax.com/html/english/p...-PRIrouter.htm
The catch is that these will not give you the download performance of
the combined bandwidth of both DSL connections. However, if you are
connecting to different IP addresses on the net, the load balancing
routers will split the bandwidth between the two routers.

I'm not sure how you should run the wires or wireless between houses
to make this happen. At best, a telco cable would bring the DSL phone
line to one of the houses, where you would have 2 DSL modems and the
load balancing router. Then, go back to the 2nd house with wireless
or a wired connection. Split between two houses, it's a topological
mess.
