As far as I know, the cable modems each share the same bandwidth. They
would also share the same subnet, so if one link goes down, wouldn''t
they both be down? I can''t see using more than 1 modem for each
coaxial
line.

I am using 2 different cable modems because there are 2 different people
paying of them. The way our cable system is set up is that 2 separate cable
modems combined together ($50 each) will be faster than the cable
company''s
$100 package. And yes, they would both go down at the same time. But for
future reference, it would be nice if I could have it detect when 1 goes
down (like unplugging it) because later I will be combining a DSL and a
cable. Im trying to get this teql thing (tc qdisc,etc.) to work but now that
Im reading about it seems like I would have to access to both sides.
Thanks
