New setup for 1st nov!

[bboy]

Ok, so due to the bull prices upcoming this is what I plan on doing!

Getting a SAOL 10 gig for R350!
And a IS 2GB including 30GB Local Cap: R164 per month account

Now i want to setup some serious routing so that all local traffic goes via the IS account, and international traffic goes via the SAOL account!

Can this be done easily on windows? Can you create 2 pppoe accounts on one machine?

Or am i going to have to go linux here!

Great Idea! Although I dont know how to do it or if it can be done...

Some pages will have bits of both so you're going to need 2 adsl lines/modems - one IS and one SAOL. As well as some serious routing. Defiantly a server strength requirement, no?

Just a quick question regards the above, how can you have 2 accounts for an ADSL service unless one is a proxy account?

Here in the UK if we wish to change ISP's we have to get a MAC number and then give it to the new ISP and then BT change the ISP for us?

How does it work in SA as over here we can only have 1 ISP not 2 on the same line?

down south here, they don't do that mac security thing and all that jazz!

we simply plug in our username and password and the raduis server resolves the rest for us( i think)! but no other info is required for us other than actually have a telkom ADSL line installed!

Ok so you have your ADSL line and then just change your username/password and then you are on the new ISP?

Interesting...........as here in the UK our ADSL line is routed to the ISP of our choice and it takes 10 days to change between each one.

It can definately be done in linux. I've previously set up a system that routed traffic to two separate simultaneously connected adsl sessions based on whether it was local or international. It's fairly complex to set up though.

Perhaps a resident linux guru could write a generic script?

You're absolutely right. But being in SA you can’t see it as the same as in the UK. The difference is that in the UK you have what is called "local loop unbundling", which mean that each ISP have its own stuff at the exchange. Over here instead of what is called LLU, we have what is called an "idiotic monopoly", which means that everything runs through Telkom at some point or the other.

sh1 I know my ISP is not LLU yet, but some others are.......but here as said each ISP has its own bandwidth probably through BT and then we are routed to them......well it makes it easier to change accounts in SA then.
