Thanks for that but unfortunatly the situation is the latter. In addition the customer doesnt know much about computers, nor does he wish to :)
He knows he has 3 connections, and he would like to never be "off-air" so to speak. I suppose even some sort of load balancing would do the job also? -----Original Message----- From: Ronald W.

Does he want to know about and switch for a particular application where he is talking with other specific machines? Or, does he want to do it for general-purpose Internet access? If the former, you might want to look into SCTP (RFC-2960), for which <http://www.sctp.org> and <http://www.sctp.de> are good places for in-depth information, and <http://tdrwww.exp-math.uni-essen.de/pages/forschung/sctp_fb/> is a reasonable places to start.
