Multiple RAS connections into one

I'm planning on setting up a RAS server to allow me to dial into our server. I could in theory have 4 dialup connections to the RAS server (each at about 50kbps). This is in turn connected to a gateway which will provide internet access.

Is there any program or way I could combine these connections to give me an overall connection speed of 200kbps? i.e. present W2k with what appears a single connection of 200kbps?

Thanks for your ideas.
 
The problem you'll have is that even if you could combine the lines ( which I'm not sure about ) for 'dial-in' access you'll be restricted by the 56k modem you are using to dialing up. ie You are only as fast as the slowest side of the connection.

If you mean you want to combine the lines for Internet access I don't think it would be possible beacuse when you dial your ISP they would see your connection attempt as single 'dial-up' and only answer on a single 56k or ISDN 64k channel. I think?
