Yeah, it would seem that way :-) Actually, the BitSURFR does have such an AT command... But... The AT command to use both B channels is 'AT@B0=2' on the BitSURFR; however, it has 3 different rate adaption protocols: V.120, AIMux, and PPP. If I use V.120, everything works great, but, unfortunately, V.120 does not support channel bonding. If I use PPP (which _does_ support channel bonding, and which works great under W95 dial-up networking), the modem connects fine, but instead of a login prompt, I just get garbage characters from the modem. I know the problem is something simple that I am just not quite grasping, since W95 dial-up networking seems to be able to log me into my ISP just fine with PPP rate adaption protocol. In short, I cannot get a working chat script to log me into my ISP if I select PPP protocol on the modem. Does any of this make any sense to you? (I hope so)
