What you'd like to accomplish isn't possible. The Pipe will only drop a channel under the following circumstances: 1. you have a two-channel bonded connection to the same destination and there is an incoming call. 2. you have a two-channel bonded connection to the same destination and there is an outgoing call (pick up a phone plugged into a POTs port on the back of the unit). If the Pipe brings up a second channel (to the same destination) during a data transfer, the only thing that will make it drop a channel is one of the above situations. Note that connecting to multiple service providers with a Pipe is more or less a hack in the software which is evident from the fact that you can only specify one login name (the myname parameter) in the pipe.
