Dear All,
I have Two Broadband 128 Kbps Cable Internet connections (2 different Cable Modems). I wanted to combine these Two Internet streams into One (128+128=256 Kbps). I have a system with three (3) Network Cards installed and I am running Windows 2000 Server operating system.
Kindly advise me for any Software solution (other then RainConnect software) for the above-mentioned task.

There isn't any. You cannot combine two internet connections as you describe into a faster service.
Each connection has to establish and IP address with the computer not just the NIC, therefore it would have to switch back and forth between the two connections 1000's of time per second.
