Since you're mentioning browsing vs gaming as the determining factor in gateway
choice, it sounds like a QOS issue from here. I've seen this question asked in
a number of forums, and usually the Linux firewall experts trot out one of the
custom firewall / routers (MonoWall I believe is a favourite).
I am curious - you start with DSL ("two DSL accounts") then move into dialup
("simulateous dialup scenario"). Is there a reason why you want the computer to
do the routing, or are you open to using a dual WAN router?
