You can't really do true bonding unless you control both ends of the link.
I had a customer who tried this.
It's easy to do with ATM and IMA interfaces on T1/T3 type stuff.
The $300-$1000 "dual wan" routers will not work off the shelf.
Policy based routing helped but it's tough to make it work.
Now, what you can do is put the Asterisk on ONE network and use policy based
routing to share other stuff like surfing, smtp, telnet, etc. You can
prioritize the traffic so that the packets to and from the Asterisk are
mangled to have the higher priority.
If both DSL's are for Asterisk ONLY then you might try round-robin DNS or
manually setup traffic.
Asteris will work on multiple LAN's - I have both a PUBLIC and PRIVATE ip in
the same box on different NIC's. Just set your routing.

Hi all, my client wants to double his bandwidth by using 2 x DSL lines
into one Asterisk network
How can I do this ?

Order a T1.... No seriously.....
Standard T1 comes with no QOS agreement and quite possible is not
publicly routable. You can even order a T1 this way if you don't know
what you are doing. Find an experiance consultant and buy him/her a
steak dinner for their opinion......

The good thing about it is that it will do load balancing and
bandwidth aggregation. It also has VPN built in, and they're currently
running a promo that throws in a Wireless B/G card to turn it into a
wireless access point (worth CAD$152)
Or if that's too expensive, there is a much cheaper alternative:
http://www.xincom.com/twr502.html which goes for just over CAD$250.
It's similar to the Symantec but does not have the name brand.
Personally, I haven't heard much about these but it should perform as
advertised.
Best regards,
Bernard

How about using SER to balance the load for outgoing calls?
