That's not a decent router...that's a decent box routing...a good router is a lot more efficient than a box that's routing packets...now...there is, of COURSE an easy way, but if you have more than 1 T1 on the same ether segment, and only one interface on that segment, your box will NOT be routing between them, generally...they need to be on sep. interfaces. Now, any decent router you can add routes to do it...that's what BGP is for...you probably won't be advertising any BGP, but you'll more likely than not be seeing it. Your router will handle it from there. Assuming you REALLY want to route on the box, and ignore the routers that are sitting there, you can add a handful of static routes, but that is the WRONG way to do it. -Jon -- opinions? cat creative_criticism >/dev/ponder cat flames >/dev/null -- J.D.
