I can add one more but it's abit obscure... If both lines connect to the same
router you can use multi-link PPP to bundle the lines (virtual templates).
This will also be far more efficent than using the loopbacks if you are using
lines with different speeds.
The downside (and also with loopbacks of course) is that you can't be
multihomed to a single providor and load balance, you can with max-paths.
