With two DSL lines, the DSL provider ships me two DSL modems. I would like to use only one. Buying a modem that load balances for me is great, but not having to buy anything and just use an old PC as a server to load balance would be better. However I guess that an old PC would use more electricity over time then a a dual DSL port DSL modem/router.
As I already mentioned, I would be looking for replacing two DSL modems/routers with a Linux box. This implies I want to replace both router and modem functionality.

I am getting another DSL line soon, then I will have two. The central where I a does not offer veru high speeds because of old equipment. I then need two lines to get the speed I need. I will then have to have two DSL routers and a Linux router to load balance the two. I would like to get rid of as much equipment as possible and just connect the Linux router directly.
