Using DSL as a backup for cable modem?

[chisness]

Can this be done so if cable ever goes out the computer would automatically kick over to DSL?

How do we do this?

A load balancing router could do this i bet, but there are not many of them around any more. You should look to a x86 based router software that can do this, like pfsence.

Understand that NOTHING you do will provider INSTANT fail over. You will have a few seconds of downtime if not a little more. And since your switching IP's also if your on like a VOIP phone call it will most likely drop.
