Additional broadband connections

[Silmeron]

Hi guys,

Apologies for the n00b question here, but our company has a full T1 coming into our office. We'd like to expand our bandwidth, but don't want to pay the insane fees to jump to a T3 or higher in our area. 3Mb cable modems are available - how could I connect both a T1 *and* a cable modem to our network and have them share traffic nicely? Would that just require a server with three net cards, one of each internet connection, and a third to connect to our internal LAN?

Thanks,
~S~

If your using the T1 for hosting and e-mail as well as net access for your Lan, I would recomend moving your Lan off the T1 and on to the cable modem, cable modems are not as reliable as T1s are, there for you dont want one for incoming traffic.
