That won't work if his other condition "next-hop is unreachable" is met,
as long as the serial interface is up packets will go merrily off to
the bit bucket, even if the next hop router is dead.

The correct way is to have the DSL line and the serial line go to the
same ISP and run a routing protocol on them.
