nope. two accounts, a modification to your OS's registry to allow two simultaneous PPPoE connections, bridge mode, and software

if you asking as a result of this thread, I am guessing traffic splitter may not be what you need. The first thing that comes to mind is that if you need your router to be in bridge; the 4 computers (other than yours) will not be able to establish concurrent connections into the account. if the account can handle 4 concurrent accounts at least that is sorted.

secondly, does traffic splitter not split between local and International traffic? if that is the case; then your problem as describe in the link is not this?

edit: if both of your threads are a result of one issue, it is best not to start multiple threads. reason being if someone gives you advice in another thread having not seen this one; then that advise may not work if you have acted on advise given in this thread.

Traffic Splitter (which is the application that I wrote to replace RouteSentry) is intended mainly for splitting local and international traffic through separate accounts/network interfaces.

To make use of my application, you'll need at least 2 separate Internet connections/accounts. My application will not be able to split the local and international traffic on a Telkom blended account, unless you pull off that exploit
You can however use Traffic Splitter to split the local & int traffic if you have for instance:
a) 1 Telkom blended account which you're using for international, and an IS/SAIX local only account that you're using for the local connection
b) 1 Telkom blended account which doesn't have international cap left + an Axxess Lite 1GB account (R19) which gives you international access

Following Milomak's post: i'm not sure if your router supports half-bridge mode - aka PPPoE relaying / PPPoE passthrough - which in essence allow your router to dial a default account that everyone in the house can use for Internet access, but it would also allow any other PC connected to it to dial its own Internet account too.
If your router doesn't support half-bridge mode, you'd probably be better off buying a MikroTik RB750 which can do all the traffic splitting for you. I'm using on in my home to split traffic across like 9 different network interfaces/devices: PPTP VPN's, PPPoE connections (normal ADSL accounts) via 384kbps ADSL, 2Mbps SDSL, 20Mbps WiFi

I'm not sure who began with the whole "splitting the traffic" thing. They should've stayed with the correct terms of "routing the traffic", which is what an ADSL router is supposed to do. Unfortunately most ADSL routers is just a glorified ADSL modem with NAT.
The DSL-2500U router that I have can actually dial multiple PPPoE connections simultaneously, as well as route the traffic via the appropriate account.
