how do i set up a the routers and routes so that i can have two internet 
connections supporting a single organization.   when one isp fails (far 
too often these days what with mci and alternet and sprint and.....) i want
the other line to carry all the traffic.  our service is a full T-1 on 
one line and metered T-1 on the other, therefore traffic load balancing 
is NOT desireable.
