Hi Whit - 

Sorry I didn't make myself clearer. Both ADSL lines are from the same
ISP.  I want to get some load balancing and redundacny out of the two
adsl line combination. This is beign done to get more available outbound
bandwidth. (1.5mb down/640k up) x 2.

I could have a class C or more for each line, but it is beyond my
clients needs. I need to have data in both directions, they have a lot
of VPN users that tie up the available bandwidth when some remote user
trys to grab a large file and saturates the available upstream
bandwidth.

I am looking at TEQL on the advice of Marc. I am just trying to see if
it can provide the failover as well as the aggregation of bandwidth. 

I hope this makes sense, let me know if I need to elaborate a bit more.

Thanks - Chris
