The software that would do this is Sun Trunking, but that is for use only
with Sun's QFE and GE cards, not on hme interfaces, and I think it lists
for $1000 (!)

Your best bet would be to upgrade to Solaris 8 10/00 and use the IP
Multipathing feature that it has. There's more info on that at
docs.sun.com in the Solaris 8 section.
