No...the 40 one is only single channel as far as I remember.

Had a look at Demon, but couldn't find a package which gave 128k
bonded....found one using surftime for £40 but it was only single
channel....they covered both lines, so you could use 2 x 64k, but not
1 bonded channel of 128k.

Anyone else on the group using ISDN (It Still Does Nothing), if
so,,,who are you using as an ISP ?

Kind Regards

Geraint.
