as yet, the TNT cannot do BGP, so that takes it out of the running
as a border router for me. If you can get each provider to
announce your routes for you, and only when your link to them is up,
it may fit the bill...

personally, I like to seperate my border routers from
my access routers, just from a management point of view.
I don't want to flap my external routes if I have to
reboot because of a customer access problem.
