Outgoing, from the 1800, 2 static routes should do the trick.  Just
make sure that they include the interface.
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fe1/0 isp1.nexthop.ip
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 fe2/0 isp2.nexthop.ip

Incoming...well that's gonna be a little different and going to be
tough to get evened out if even possible.
