I have about 25 users on a Novell network and I have added a cable
broadband (modem to router to hub) into the network. But service has
been uneven, the modem needing to be reset repeatedly and several
outages. If I downgraded to a lower service level and added a DSL into
the hub with the same route (DSL to it's own router to same hub as Cable
service) would they work together to give me adequate bandwidth (and
serve as "backup"- if one service is down- the other would still supply
access) ? Could it work that way?
You can have cable/DSL and/or dial-up modem connections together if you use a load balancing router. A standard router hooked to a hub will not work. The load balancing router can also act as a backup feature in case one of the broadband connections goes down, the router will automatically switch to the still working connection.
