It'll work just fine; the shared cable line supplies far more bandwidth
than what several modems will eat, and this area is not oversubscribed.
Also, I have a mix of modems - some DOCSIS, some older proprietary
Motorola, which use different parts of the broadcast spectrum, and so do
not affect each other's bandwidth, directly.

How about multiple TCP connections on a single local host using multiple
lines? I know I could stick particular local machines to a particular
network gateway, but at that point I could just hook them up directly to
individual modems.

I work at my ISP. What's the cooperation bit?
