There is a program out there I used back in Linux days..It load balanced
two modem connection..I don't recall the name ..allthough that source
might be available for freebsd ...if not a little hacking would be alot
easier then writing a fresh driver....If you could find the prg..
good luck..also your provider router will have to allow it.
good luck.
Hope this helps...
