Hi Joseph,

I'm just about to set up something like that myself next week. For
ages I looked into bonded ADSL, asked on forums etc. and it all looked
rather complicated. There wasn't an easy 'of the shelf' professional-
grade package. But then I found I was Googling/asking for the wrong
thing!

Try a 'Dual WAN firewall' or router, e.g.:
http://www.netgear.com/business/products/security/wired-VPN-firewalls/FVS336G.aspx

It'll do bonding or failover - just plug in and go! There's a quad-WAN
box from Netgear too.

I picked a new boxed Netgear box up on eBay for £40

Cheers,
Chris

That particular product looks expensive. B-ADSL is quite an expensive
and somewhat outdated product anyway.

Consider looking into SDSL (4-8Mb up/down) perhaps or even an EFM style
product like BT Infinity (40Mb down / 22Mb up in some cases).

If you really want B-ADSL, try getting a price from one of the less
commercially marketed companies like Spitfire or Daisy

Note: Dual WAN is not the same as bonding. In a bonded connection the
two channels are recombined before being put onto the internet
backbone. If you have two 10gb connections they would be bonded into
one 20gb connection. A duel WAN solution multiplexes users across two
connections so at any one time a user is allocated to one or the other
of the ADSL circuits (and in the case of fail over all are allocated
to one). If you have a number of users sharing a connection this is
not an issue. Care must be taken as some implementations can route
connections for a single session down alternate ADSL channels and this
plays havoc with on line banking and other uses where there is an
attempt to prevent session hijacking.

Dual WAN can be done with Smoothwall if you have a requirement for a
proper firewall box

We use easynet for bonded DSL at work, they are a bit pricey but the
service is fantastic.

Office of 25 people, 6 of which techs.
