Very complicated.

Even a humble win98 box supports this. Just need a second nic
and the cd or 98 files to install the necessary non-default bits.

Not to do proper load balancing of multiple ADSL lines it doesn't, no
version of Windows does, if you channel bond multiple lines from the
same ISP to a single router it's easier, but lines from different ISPs
is tricky even with Linux, and any one download will tend to use a
single line.
