Hi There,

I currently have a network with one ADSL-Router with a 5MBdown/1MBup
line.
On that network I have a couple of macs, a windows machine and a linux
mail and webserver.

It all works great. Now my girlfriend needs to VPN to her work from
home. Her boss wants to give her a new ADSL account. I told them that
she can just plug-in to my network but they insist on adding a new
line.
So they will install a new line with 2MBdown/1MBup.

I was wondering if it is possible to add both ADSL routers to the
network.
Can I use both lines at the same time?
Is it possible to build a situation where the 2nd line takes over when
the first goes down?
Is it possible to build a situation where I can add the speed of both
lines together so my downloads will go faster?
Ans if yes, does anyone know how?

Cheers,

Boudewijn van Breukelen
