[ILUG] Connection Failover via Tomato Firmware

Does anybody know if this is possible as I can't seem to find any answers to
it on the Tomato wiki? (Either that or my searching skills aren't up to
scratch).

Basically in the new place I've moved into we have a DSL connection (that's
reliable-ish) and a company installed fixed wireless connection for myself.
I'm looking to set up a failover between the two connections so that we can
have a reliable connection 99.9% of the time that is only impervious to a
power cut.

I'm looking to do either one of two things.

1) Bridge the connections somehow using a WRT54G with Tomato firmware
installed so that I can combine the bandwidth of both whilst also having it
as a failover connection or;

2) Having a simple failover with the Fixed wireless connection as the master
and the DSL connection as the slave.

Can anybody point me in the right direction as the god of google doesn't
seem to have the answer I'm looking for?

Regards,

Steve
