Wouldn't it be feasible to use a router machine between the home PC
and the DSL lines?  Use two outbound NICs and set the router to load
balance between them for the 3rd internal NIC.  I don't really see a
technical reason why it's as complicated as people are making it out
to be.  By the very nature of TCP/IP packets can take multiple paths.
You just want to force half one way and half the other.  That's not a
big deal to do, IMHO.
