I mailed this list a couple weeks ago looking for help to figure out how
to get two modems working for a poor man's double bandwidth solution.
Since then have been fiddling with EQL and having limited success with
it. It seems to work for outbound traffic just as it should, but does
nothing for the inbound data. The instructions for setting it up are:
http://home.indyramp.com/eql/eql-1.html
and were very helpful. They just stop short after describing how to set
it up, so there is no debugging help. I found out from my ISP that they
_are_ running Livingston Portmaster, but have yet to get to speak to a
sysadmin directly.
What happens when I start the setup: I dial up with one modem on ppp0
and it connects like it should. Then I go about configuring the eql
device and enslaving ppp0 to it and making it the default route. The
functionality of the connection never changes. If I ftp files out or
in, the data goes as expected through the connection (I am monitoring
this with pload, BTW). Then I can connect with the second modem as ppp1
and enslave that to the eql device as well. Now, all the data coming in
from the ISP goes through ppp1 while ppp0 just sits idle. If I ftp
files OUT to a server, the data goes out twice as fast and equally
through both ppp0 and ppp1 just as it should. Now I am stuck.
BTW, if you have any ideas at all, please let me know right away since
they agreed to let me do this for free only for a couple days until I
decide whether I want to pay for 2 fast modems and another connection.
Anyone?
