thank you
can i use some cisco router for that???
and what is the configuration needed / is there are GUI ??

On the netgear it has a simple web interface.

I only know about this because a client I was working with was required to use this by a vendor...
They use it on a network to process credit cards... and if the 'net goes down they need to keep processing creditcards -- this fails over to the second network.

Any Cisco branded router that runs IOS and is licensed for Enterprise or Advanced IP Services should do the trick. You can use a new 800 series router or an ancient 2600 series router, as long as it has the right IOS loaded. I happen to be using a 7604 router because I need a DS3 interface.
