Routing/Balancing between two ADSL ISP's

Big thanx to all for you replys!
Well, I see: no way using software...
So, what about hardware (like LinkSys router RV016, 10/100 16-Port VPN
Router), or maybe ISA 2004 can do so?

What do you think?

I don't think it will help the way cabling is setup.
If all computers on network connected to RV016 directly,
then it might be able to distribute load.
Have one or two computers use the Internet only, and see if its
slow. See when does the Internet start slowing down.
What is the speed of the ADSL ?

It can be done in Windows but it's done better in a route of some type. If
you want to do it then I'd recommend a low end Cisco router as your best bet,
most of your SOHO routers allow only 1 WAN connection. Something like a
modular chassis 26xx with 2 ADSL WICs, then you can configure multilink PPP
or CEF (Cisco Express Forwarding) across both WAN interfaces.

In addition to balancing your outbound traffic, if you are running a WWW
site or anything else you will need to contend with advertising your IP space
across both ISP's, they can do it, but depending on the type of service
you've got they may or may not be too helpful about it. This is important
b/c if www.mycompany.com is running on an IP from ISP #1 and they go down and
ISP #2 is still up if your not advertising across both providers although you
will be able to get out to the Internet, no one will be able to get to you...
