I've seen a couple of SMC barracuda ADSL routers that will handle dual links and do some failover stuff. I'd guess you already had modems for those links ? Cant remember from memory what the model number was, but google should dig up something. Also, i dont think the device does any load-balance. But it does do failover from one link to the other and back again when quality is back at some fixed limit. We used to use these 5 - 6 years back with ADSL -> ISDN failover in typical office setups. But since the WAN interfaces exposed are all ethernet, I'd imagine you can plugin a cable modem instead of an isdn one with no real issue. Watch out for the ones that directly talk isdn-nt, you dont want those! Not sure if this helps, but its *something*. You could always get some micro-ITX kit or gumstix type machine, linux'ify it and post it over :D - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
