Re: Merging 2 ADSL lines

["Fawaz ." <sshbsd@hotmail.com>]

The point is having

-1st adsl-cisco677-\
                    >>obsd3.0->switch->lan
-2nd adsl-cisco677-/

  in order to keep the connection alive. sometimes we have to reboot one 
line for a reason or another. rebooting a line will drop the Internet 
connection for LAN. I was thinking of using line1 as gateway1, line 2 as 
gateway 2.. but that would not work with all my clients (some are using 
windows 9x..)
