What I'm trying to do is have a 24-hour 28.8Kbps analog connection, but when more bandwidth is needed, I would like the system to automatically switch and dial using my separate ISDN modem. And then disconnect after 5 minutes of inactivity (ISDN only, analog would stay connected.) I would greatly appreciate it if you would assist me in setting this (to me) rather complex configuration up. Again (for clarification), here's what I'm trying to do: - The system will maintain a constant or dedicated 28.8 connection - When either the FreeBSD server or another computer on my LAN uses the internet and in doing so surpasses the 28.8's bandwidth, I'd like the computer to connect using the ISDN modem. - Then, after 5 minutes of inactivity, I'd like the ISDN to disconnect and the analog to connect again. Or, if possible, the analog would have remained connected the whole time. (I'm not sure whether in order to connect the ISDN one would have to disconnect the analog 28.8. If this is necessary, that's OK.) If you have any questions, please ask. Thanks so much for your time in this problem, Robert McGrath ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
