You cannot do it on a single FreeBSD system without cooperation of the ISP because it only has 1 internal route table. You can use 2 FreeBSD systems one for each modem, put both into translation mode, set the inside IP addresses to something like 192.168.1.1 on the first one and 192.168.1.2 on the second. Then you set the default gateway on half of the systems on the inside to .1 and the other half to .2 > Or it is easier to just route services (like www > traffic on modem 1, > email traffic on modem 2..) That's another way to do it. Ted
