I am using a sat also with a router my upsteam via router...Haven't found anything that would allow routing traffic across both gateways at the same time. Your setup seems similar except I would like to load balance between them. I have not found a simple solution with freebsd. Linux have something that allows encapsulating ppp conection. load sharing two modems. with sat not being upsteam is my problem. I would think your problem could be worked out...Why so much packet loss? I know I am not helping your question I just Don't see many Sat question.. I see Sat's as the way of the future...in comunications. :) Get enough people maybe a SAT/FreeBsd list:) On Fri, 5 Feb 1999, Francis A.
