Are you talking about combining the two connections out into a single
virtual interface? That's fun!

Bridging is something else. Usually that's meant when you pass traffic
between two different protocols transparently.

I can't remember what MS calls it, but I know they have it (played with
it a bit at work). OpenBSD has it, too (called trunking). I'm sure Linux
must have it.
