After some investigation, it seems they are using teql on=20 Linux, which is different from bonding (bonding doesn't seem to be able to use two different connections types, especially=20 when these are not ethernet). I'd like to aggregate one ADSL=20 line with a SDSL line. I'm not sure teql works like=20 ng_onetomany. Stephen Montgomery-Smith told me by private email that he knew somebody who successfully used Linux and FreeBSD=20 together to do bonding. I really need to try it, I'm just=20 lacking some hardware at the moment. --=20 Florent Thoumie flz@xbsd.org --=-ZBo62gh4VTcqt/UyqEaB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCl5UcMxEkbVFH3PQRAuYCAKCQtU8MzxOb8ivehkrkiHm6008+uQCdF3jf jKkJbGi1peNLEyHqLtxEJ8Y= =x+Od -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ZBo62gh4VTcqt/UyqEaB--
