So would it be possible to run both an IS and SAIX account through the same router at the same time?

If sou would Route Sentry be the software to use?

I'm thinking of using a 30GB local only account concurrent with the telkom Do3 through a Billion router
 
Yes you can, this is how I do it.

I have RASPPPoE installed on my network card (the protocol you need to use Route Sentry).

Create a "dial-up" connection for each account, dial them both (ensure that the number of WAN endpoints is at least 2, how to do this should appear in any good Route Sentry guide), then create a little batch file (in notepad, just save as something.bat) with the following:

route add 196.26.208.123 mask 255.255.255.255 IP1
route add 196.43.2.61 mask 255.255.255.255 IP2

Where you replace IP1 with the IP address that you have on the IS account and IP2 with the IP address you have on the SAIX account. The IP address at the beginning of each line is the IP of the respective news server.

Save the BAT, run it and you should be good to go :)

If you want to combine this with an international account (3 simultaneous connections) it does get a bit tricky as you need to edit the Route Sentry routing file (localroutes.dat) but that too is possible ;)
 
What Billion router do you have. I have the latest firmware for the 7402GX (Think its a release candidate version) and it allows you to have multiple accounts on the router. You should then be able to setup static routes quite easily and redirect traffic to the specific connection for different ip's.
 
I Have the Bipac 5200S and running Vista 64. Keep on getting errors on trying to connect the second line. Tried route sentry with the "wan" registry edit but still only one connection possible at a time.

When route sentry is running however on the international and local it disconects local and conect to international for the interantional content and vice versa for local. but this takes time and is quite annoying.
