multiple ADSL lines on 1 linux box to route outgoing traffic

Good Day,

We have a small 1mbps connection to the internet here, and ADSL traffic is
killing the link. Basically 3-4 ADSL users download email and then the whole
1meg line is congested till the ADSL users are finished.
I was thinking of setting up a linux box with redhat for example, and
installing several ADSL modems/lines onto it and on my cisco router add a
route statement for ADSL ip ranges that it goes to the ethernet interface of
the redhat box. The redhat box in turn will have a ip route 0.0.0.0 statment
sending the traffic out across ADSL. My question is how could I virtually
combine all the ADSL connections to form 1 "connection"

Thanx in advance

AFAIK there is not way to do this unless you have hardware on your end
and your ISP has hardware that does link agregation or teaming (trunking).

Otherwise you can setup load balancing across the links that will push
the next connection to the next least saturated adsl line.

Though wouldn't you be better off looking at some sort of higher
bandwidth single line than purchasing several dsl lines. Maybe a dsl2 or
cable connection.
