Why would you do that?

COmcast sucks
THe university lan is worse
sometimes I revert to a dialup line I have to the NOC where I work when things get really bad :(

Failover for broadband is handled at my loadbalancer, but when the loadbalancer stops forwarding packets, my main pc steps in and forwards packets to the dialup for my server

Hrm, this could be a useful feature, might have to dig my modem out of the attic if it's easy to set it up like this. My phones (280s, e2cs) are both sealed and I often listen to my speaker system at volumes which make it difficult to hear the phone.

Yeah...it's actually not a bad idea, but I don't have a non ISA modem and no computer here with speakers has an ISA slot, so I'll have to do without. :p
