2 Home networks

[cjr]

Good morning. I have 2 networks at home that I use. One is a land line based DSL, the other is my cellphone plugged in to a travel router using easytether. I would like to set up my computer to use the cellphone network if it's available, and the DSL if it is not. The interface using DLS is wired, the travel router is wireless. I was reading the lagg man page and I note that all the examples use the same subnet. Will there be issues if I try to use lagg with two separate subnets? Is there a better solution that I'm missing? Thanks.
