Hi guys:

Have a question for anyone who can help me sort this thing out. We have an
SBS 2000, 34 users, with a single network card, attached to a Cisco 506e
firewall, connected to Netopia Cayman Router (DSL). We tried to upgrade our
DSL conection as we are using much more internet to download documents. But
unfortunately due to our location we have the max 384k -1.5mb., our next
step would be to install a T-1 and that's to expensive. I was wondering if
it's best to add a second DSL line with another static IP given by them to
balance the bandwidth. If its best, what do I need to do on my SBS server.
We use the Cisco firewall to VPN, Exchange and OWA are already installed and
running fine. I assume that we need to get a router to connect the 2 DSL
lines to the Firewall, if we do,,,which router you guys suggest.

Thanks in advance to everyone.
