Pretty much, but it is two routes with the *same* physical device. That is
the key point. It must be a single device,..and the single device is what
makes the determination which route is used. In other words both T1s must
come into the same router. Most all commercial grade routers have at least
3 ports,...one Ethernet and two Serial ports. A T1 comes to each serial port
and the router determines which serial port the traffic is to go out of.
Because the ISP owns both T1s and own the routers at the opposite end of
each T1 they are the primary ones to rig this up because all *three* routers
must be setup to work together with this. The topology will look like a
"triangle" and you are only one point of the triangle, they represent two
points on the triangle,..therefore they have more to do with rigging this up
than you do.
