Actually, both lines must use PPPOE - non static ip's (thanks Verizon and
Bellatlantic), I had the Bellatlantic account before the merger, and now have
the second through Verizon. Doing a double pppoe is no big deal thanks to
Roaring Penguin's software using the GUI that is available. If my
understanding is correct - if I could change the source address of all the
packets going out through the 384 line to read what the pppoe address is for the
1.5mb line - should that not work? The rest of the world would see the
source address as that of the 1.5 line instead of the 384 line. I just
don't know how to do that.
