You *can* bind ports like that, and it's a feature of the native 2.4
kernel, but it's not trivial to do and does require a decent ethernet
switch that supports ethernet "bonding".

If the network is your bottleneck though, this is an option.

Another option is to use IP over IEEE-1394 firewire.
400Mbps vs 100Mbps. Unfortunately, cables are a bit beyond cat5, and I
can't say I've ever seen a firewire end crimper for making your own
cables ;)
