hardware would be something like a regular web type load balancer.... 
but those are EXPENSIVE.  What kind of gateway is infront of the two 
dsl lines?  if you have a cisco router or a linux box I KNOW you can 
set it up to do equal cost multipath routing....  but I don't know 
about a solaris box....
