No I am using the EN5861, just that we have two ADSL lines and only one EN5861 and rather than buying another I'd like to use linux to do the same job as the en5861, if you know what I mean. So far I've set up ppp0:0 which I've assigned one of the static ip addresses supplied to us by our ISP but when I try and route through it i.e. ip route add default dev ppp0:0 table T1 then it returns the error no such device, which it's quite right there isn't. If I route through it using the ip address of ppp0:0 i.e ip route add default via x.x.x.193 table T1 then it does work but anything that goes through it ends up using the IP address of ppp0. So how can I set up the linux box to use these static IP addresses in the same way I can with the EN5861? I hope I'd made myself clear, it's hard trying to explain something when your not to sure exactly what your talking about. Anyway any help with be gladly received.
