for T1, i do have a router, it's very old router, cisco 1750 i think..
100mbps doesn't have any router it goes to pix directly

Alexus, I have the same situation here. How did you decide to multihome your two connections?
I'm trying to find a HW config that will do the trick, but haven't yet.

PIX does not support ISP multihoming. THe only way for this scenario would be using a router between the ISP and the PIX. On the router you can do the failover using many techniques such as floating routers, route maps, and route reachability.
Let me know if this helps,

I understand that pix does not support multihoming. I am having trouble finding a router I know will support multiple ports and route-map.
I am considering using a 3550 switch to do the trick, but I'm in a fog of multiple commands and have yet to find an example of this.

You can go for 1720 Router with 2 WIC 1 ENETs if you ISPs termination is ethernet. Or a 3560 Switch would do it.
Let me know if you need help with the commands,
Regards,
