Hello,

I'm in the situation of having two broadband ISPs available here (cable and
ADSL), which both are at times really unreliable. So I thought of signing
up with both and set up a router that automatically routes the more
important packets through the WAN port where the traffic is best. Is
something like this possible, with reasonable expense and effort?

"More important packets" are for example VoIP (YIM, Skype, SIP) and PPTP.

I'm not a network engineer, nor am I Cisco certified :) But I think I could
set up a Linux system and configure relevant software with some help for
what I should look, for example. (Even though that would be my first Linux
system that I set up...) 

At this point I'm open for all suggestions, because I really don't have a
clue of the complexity of this.

Thanks,
Gerhard
