According to http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO-10.html, this has
to be set up at both ends, much like Cisco's EtherChannel.  If you bond
your cable and DSL connections (which go to different providers), what
address would you assign to your teql0 interface? How would NAT work?  
How would it bind TCP connections to a particular interface?

Not that this doesn't have its uses.  If you have two offices, each with
their own Internet connection and a frame relay link between them, you
could use this to bond a VPN link with the frame link.  Or if you go
crazy and buy a pile of $50 gigabit ethernet cards you could use it to
bond them together.
