Hi Raju,

The equipment terminating the 2 Internet lines are DSL modem/router.

Just put both routers in bridge mode and run PPPoE on a Linux server then. The script would be something like this (may need tweaking):

while : do for iface in 0 1 do if ifconfig ppp$iface > /dev/null 2>&1 then /sbin/route delete default /sbin/route add default dev ppp$iface fi done done

I am planning to set up UNTANGLE as the gateway to the Internet. Is it possible to set more the one Internet line on UNTANGLE.

Sorry, no clue what untangle is.

Can you tell me the script that will check the link status every minute and sets the default route to the link which is up.

Regards,
