My understanding is that www.pfsense.com has dual connection failover (could build rules on traffic, etc...) might be a better route to take.

In normal operation the DSL would handle Voice (Asterisk) while the cable would handle any data traffic. So here's the plan (remember I'm not a network guy) A cron job on the Asterisk server continually pings an external server should the Ping take more than a two seconds then * IP address is change to share the Data network until service is resumed. Is this a plan or am I just whistling "Dixie" TTFN Henry -- Henry L.
