Our T1 card  drivers have had load balancing capabilty for several years..we
have recently added the capability to factor balance so that you can balance
2 mediums with differing available bandwidths.

The next version of our Bandwidth manager will support factored load
balancing 
over any 2 mediums, specifically Ethernets or serial lines. The code is in
there,
but it doesnt quite work yet :-)
