It makes a HUGE difference and I have tried it on Win 2K and 98.

I also tried another experiment, running TCPDUMP on my nic card for 24 hours
with Real Audio, FTP, Web, Fetchmail, etc all running, plus I had a 
constant ping
to another machine and at the end I had 0% packets dropped by the new 2.4
kernel.

I did try to add two modems to the Linux box last night, but I was using the
wimp tools (Mandrake Control Panel) and it would only allow me to choose one
modem and one port.  Is there a better way to go about this for my multi-link
experiment.
