I have searched Google and FreeBSD question and people suggest to use "netgraph", like ng_fec, or ng_one2many. However, these approaches require support from the other peer (the ISP), which is not possible in my situation. Do you know if there is any way of combining the bandwidth of the two modems? Or it is easier to just route services (like www traffic on modem 1, email traffic on modem 2..) or route nodes behind it (subnet A routes (has gateway) through modem 1, subnet B routes (has gateway) through modem 2). Also, if anybody of you has some real-life experience with such things it would be very nice to hear from. Thank you very much in advance, BB p.s. Renting a faster bandwidth line is not an option. --- Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day; set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life
