We have a 128Kbps ISDN line with the telecom provider.
Using a ZyXel TA128U, we have connected to the ISP over two separate
64Kbps lines using the 2 channels. Each of these lines are connected to
two different systems, whereas the hard disk used for both (for the ftp
application we use the internet most) is that of the second.
We have mounted the hard disk of the 2nd system from the 1st using nfs.
So the login account on the 1st system uses the 1st system's (CPU, RAM
and) PPP and the 2nd hard disk.
Whereas, the login account on the 2nd system uses the 2nd system's PPP and
the 2nd system's hard disk. Both these login accounts are available on the
other system (as applicable), using rlogin.
Moreover, using SAMBA, these accounts are mapped to drive names from Win95
machines and copying is done most often accross the (intra)network.

Whenever we do ftp using PPP2 on System2, it is found to be seriously
affected by any other related network activity like ftp between System1
and internal/external systems.
System 1 has following config
Linux 2.0.27 (SW)
133MHz pentium
32MB RAM
1.2 GB HDD
50MB swap
System 2 has
Linux 2.0.27 (SW)
200MHz Pentium
32MB RAM
4GB HDD
180MB (80+100) swap
Almost all other systems are P200.
Some windows systems use \\system1\login instaed of \\system2\login.
I know all these will load the network, especially the nfs.
Without changing the network setup as above, what enhancements have to be
made in the resources so that both the PPP lines will work properly.
Oommen.
