Modem multilinking?

Have a question about multilinking modems. My ISP can’t seem to figure out how to set up multilink access at their end for me to use. I can’t get DSL or cable…so I need some more speed.

Is it possible to use two different ISPs with an account at each? In the dialup properties, there is a place to allow a different phone number to be dialed per each modem, but I don’t see a place to enter separate login/pass for each modem.

Any ideas to get around this? Thanks.
BTW, I have Windows XP…two modems…two phone lines…etc.
If not…does anyone know an ISP that allows multilinking and knows how to do it?

I’ve had dialup for 8 years and I’m SICK of it.?

I can’t even play games from when dialup was prominant, such as StarCraft or Counter-Strike. I want to run a small business, but there’s no WAY I’m going to do that from a dialup connection. There are no forms of broadband available to my house – DSL is out because of fiber optic lines, Verizon doesn’t service ISDN lines anymore, and cable is right across the road, yet in the numerous attempts to have them extend service, we have been denied. How can I get a faster connection other than shotgunning modems and paying like $5 per hour for it?
Please note that satellite internet is *NOT* a good alternative. Unless you like a lag time of about 2 full seconds. :)
