    Hi Folks,

    I would like to be able to run two, maybe more, ADSL connections from
    my RH9 box for a load balancing application. Has anyone here ever
    tried this?

    After much head banging I have been able to achieve load balancing
    over two external cable modems as described in the advanced routing
    and traffic control document.

    I would now like to attempt the same thing with ADSL, I have a single
    Conexant ADSL modem working sucessfully using the sources from:-
     
    http://patrick.spacesurfer.com/linux_conexant_pci_adsl.html

    With two cards installed, and ppp0 up, doing an ifup-ppp1,
    /var/log/messages tells me that device 0.0.38 is locked (no surprises
    there).

    I notice in the /network-scrips/ifcfg-ppp0 the MODEMPORT is set to
    "0.0.38" corresponding to 0.vni.vci rather than a /dev/, or driver.
    So how does one go about having more than one interface?

    Any suggestions would be most gratefully received.

    Jim
