combining 2 ADSL Lines

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

It's probably a good learning experience for Netgraph but
let me call your attention to the following sentence in the
man page before you spend too much time on this:

"...The one2many provides a simple mechanism for routing packets over
several links in a one-to-many (and in the reverse direction, many-to-one)
fashion..."

Now, OK, you can set it up in the forward direction (out) but, which
of your 2 ISP's is going to run it on their end to send the packets
back to you?  And how will that one combine with the other ISP?
