Also with the use of bondign devices you get all the benifits of clean firewall and traffic control handling at kernel level - I doubt it is resonable to handle this over multiple distinct lines in a meaningful way (with finite effort that is...) thx hofrat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
