They would also share the same subnet, so if one link goes down, wouldn't they both be down? I can't see using more than 1 modem for each coaxial line. Chris. David wrote: > Here is the setup I have.

The way our cable system is set up is that 2 separate cable modems combined together ($50 each) will be faster than the cable company's $100 package. And yes, they would both go down at the same time. But for future reference, it would be nice if I could have it detect when 1 goes down (like unplugging it) because later I will be combining a DSL and a cable. Im trying to get this teql thing (tc qdisc,etc.) to work but now that Im reading about it seems like I would have to access to both sides.
