Billion ADSL router with integrated 3G modem

yea, sounds very nice..

via Broadband connectivity by configuring one of the Ethernet ports as a WAN

Does this mean the ADSL modem is a separate device? is there a free WAN port on the device? i.e. ADSL Modem + 3G/HSDPA Modem + WAN port ??(not quite dual but tri? then)

Also what alerts does it provide to the end user when 'auto fail-over' occurs as it could be a costly mistake to continue as per usual without warning. 2ndly is there a varying set of port priorities/restrictions for each wan.. remember your restrictions will need to change to prevent over usage.
 
I believe that they are referring to the Billion BiPAC 7800GZ 3G router.

Sounds like an awesome modem.

This would be my ideal setup for a business:

1. ADSL as primary
2. I have a spare iBurst modem lying around. Would I be able to configure the 4th LAN port as a WAN port, to work with the iBurst Desktop modem? If so, that would be awesome. I'd then get a prepaid iBurst package.
3. Get a GConnect account and sim card for prepaid 3G/HSDPA bandwidth.

Anyone know if the above setup will work? Will it work as a 3-way failover, in the order specified? Can you specify the order? Will GConnect work, or will I get hit by the web landing page, prompting me to login?

UPDATE: The above link explains it. It works as a DUAL-WAN failover. So you can choose ADSL + WAN or ADSL + 3G, and the failover works automatically. WAN should work with iBurst as well.

So you can get 1 device to work with ADSL, 3G/HSDPA and iBurst (or other PPOE devices). Quite cool. Like the 4 VPN tunnels as well. Ideal for a small to medium business. The cake on the top would be if it supported 802.11n, and not just 802.11b/g.
