I know at one point Diamond Multimedia was building a modem that would "shotgun" - run 112k over two phone lines. But you needed two phone lines AND an ISP that would support shotgun. For a very short time period, it was cost-effective. Then DSL and cable came down in price another notch and it wasn't.

Sucks to be you my brother. I would give up a meal a day before my DSL line.

EDIT
Type "diamond multimedia shotgun" in Google and read. Some interesting tech. stuff on shotgun-ning modems. No way around the two phone lines best I can tell but it appears ANY two recent vintage modems can handle it.
