Router and speed questions for my ISDN
Questions 1.
I am getting 2 128K ISDN circuts to my house soon. I need a router that will let me combine both ISDN circuts to use all 256K of the lines. Does anyone have any recomendations on what equipment I can use?
Question 2. - much more complicated
If my 256K ISDN is 1.5 times slower than a 256K T1.. Then what would my 256K ISDN be equivlant to if I had a T1.
Im thinking like 115K T1 or mabe slower.
All help is much appreciated.

Answer 1:
A lot depends on your ISP and the routers you're using.
Typically, the router will have a specific IP assigned to it (either static or dynamic). Therefore, with 2 ISDN modems and 2 routers, you'd end up with two IP addresses.
You'd have to talk to your ISP to see if they support connection bonding, thereby allowing both modems to combine into one bigger pipe.
The alternative would be a tool such as Vicom's InterGate which will spread traffic across multiple connections: Install InterGate on one system in your network and have all other systems point their default gateway to the InterGate machine. Intergate will then spread the traffic across available links
