    Hi,

    A mate of mine has a 2 meg BT DSL connection and is getting a 2/3 month trial off Eircom for the craic or some reason

    There's 4 computers in total in the house, and i'm wondering how i could do this for him without manually pointing each one at a certain gateway. Can only think of crazidly load balancing with a router i'll 'borrow' from work.

    If there's any handy way to use both as 1 it'd be cool

    I'm assuming here that te two services are on two physically separate lines - if not, you'll only be able to use one at a time.

    Load balancing is the general solution - nothing crazy about that. If you can get hold of a box that does it, go ahead. If it was me, I'd be doing something along these lines with a handful of NICs and an old PC.
