Re: Merging 2 ADSL lines

Yes both are with the same ISP, the point is: when we have to reboot one 
line ('coz of some noise on that line, or when we have to reset the line's 
ports) we dont lose the connection. Unfortunately it is impossible to have 
another providor, we have one and only one ISP.
