I think there is a simple solution to all this.
This is what we do in DVB recieve-only service. What u have to do is to
masquerade all ur outgoing traffic to some ip address of ur 1.5 mb link and
route it through 384kbps link. As the ip address which is sent out is of that of
1.5 mb link ..it will return back through ur 1.5 mb link automatically
.
Only restriction is that u shld hv real
ips for both links , what i mean by that is ..ur outgoing
traffic shld not get masquerade agn ..as then the traffic
will come back thgh the same link.

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.

For routing that is a non-issue. All advanced routing stuff was in
