Currently i have a 2-Mbps BSNL broadband connection which is terminated to our Linux Server (Fedora) which acts as the Internet gateway to our LAN users from the DSL Modem using PPPoE.

Now, i want to replace this with a new 2-Mbps AIRTEL broadband connection. My queries:

2. If i add another NIC(for the new connection) and run the

ADSL-SETUP, will this affect the existing connection.

3. Is there a way such that, i can configure this new Airtel

connection without disturbing the existing BSNL connection and just swap the DSL modem.

Not clear: do you want to replace the existing BSNL connection or do you want to have both connections (BSNL and Airtel)?

In any case, you can run PPPoE for both (or either) on a single ethernet card. That's what I'm doing with my MTNL and Airtel connections.
