Here's the scenario:
1. I have a DSL line that has good upstream and is very clean, great for gaming.
2. I have a cable modem, which downloads really fast at all times, but ping spikes during peak hours.
I want to basically have a box (*nix, or a router), that would route all UDP based traffic (games) through the DSL line and all TCP based traffic (web surfing) through the cable modem. This has to be doable with some piece of hardware and software combo. I'm thinking this would be the best of both worlds (at least in my area), since I could use the DSL's upstream to host a LAN party for games and the downstream for the additional clients on my network could downloads 'till their hearts content.
Sure, getting a faster DSL line would do, but getting faster DSL would cost more than $60/month versus the $40/month for cable. I'm thinking this situation could easily apply if you wante to combine 2x DSL lines, 2x cable modems, or at a business with a leased line and a xDSL line, etc.
