Aggregating 2 modems in Windows Server 2003?

Question

- I would like to use 2 modems (say 1 x ADSL2+ and 1 x Cable internet) with my Windows 2003 Server.
- I would like to aggregate them so that the bandwidth is shared between the users.
- I want it setup so that if 1 modem falls over then the other takes over
- I don't want a hardware solution
Can I do this in Windows Server 2003?
Any ideas???

Thanks guys!

If dual wan lines are available the server should decide for you.
Here is a great little article. (You do need two wan cards one for each connection!)

But I will tell you that a DUAL WAN router is much much better solution here! It offloads the server to be used for what it was designed to do and is more efficent for your entire system! An opinion from a lot of years of networking!
