This may be a complete red herring, but, instead of bonding two feeds
from the same provider has anyone tried with two, or even more, feeds
from different providers? I have a possible installation with two
incoming analogue fax lines, one already has ADSL the other could. My
thoughts are to get ADSL from a second provider and then mix them in a
Linux firewall. This should give some protection from outrages at the
provider.
