combine 2 different broadband connections?

I have access to both NTL Broadband & BT Broadband, nether of which are USB
connections. Therefore, can I install 2 network cards in my machine and
take advantage of the double speed that would, theoretically, be available??

Cheers

I'm running XP Home. Mail servers wouldn't be a problem as I run my own via
my host provider (unconnected to my 2 ISP's)

What OS you running ?

In some circumstances it can be done but can cause complications. e.g. where
ISP only accepts connections to mail server from one of it's own IP
addresses.

You could do it with Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Easier to get a
load-balancing router I think, unless you want to run something like
Linux Router Project on an old PC.
