Hey Hydrolytic,

It’ll seem odd you don’t live in South Africa. South Africans pay an arm and a limb for international bandwidth. It only makes sense if one does more downloading from mirrors local to SA ( Such as updates, ISO’s etc ). You generally save quite a bit. It costs around R130 to get a 30GB local only ADSL account and you can then get another 1GB regular account to surf internationally for R79. Where as it’ll cost, just over R700 for a 10GB Regular ADSL when 80% of the bandwidth being used is local.

Hey Adrian

Place “unit 0″ in the bottom of the provider file you wish to make ppp0 and “unit 1″ in the at the end of your provider file you wish to make ppp1. This forces the interface to be brought up accordingly.

How do you make sure that ppp0 is international and ppp1 is local ?

Nice

Yes I helped someone else implement this on Ubuntu. A lot more straight forward then OpenWRT
