Ok! I'll retry to explain better what I need.

Currently I have 3 routers (64Kbit/s, 256Kbit/s and 2Mbit/s). When I use
the 2Mbit/s, I pay for traffic
that exceed XGbytes/Month. So what we need ? We need to configure a new
linux box that balance all the
intranet traffic between the 3 routers. I need to use QoS or configure
others thing ?
