Hi guys,
my company is having 2 leased lines internet connections and they were
about to buy two routers to make them standby to each other, each with
one of the internet connections, as they were discussing with some
network consultant...he convinced them to reduce cost and put 2 wics
in one router only each connected to the each internet connection
instead of buying 2 routers....is that appropriate??

thanks alot

Nad

Well that will definitely save cost no brainer, but if the router reloads you 
lose both the leased lines connected to that WIC and thereby the Internet. What 
is that your company wants, redundancy or cost effective solution?
