BGP same ISP from shadow to multihomed

I have a BGP setup to a single ISP that I want to switch from Shadow T1 to multihomed so I can use both T1's at the same time.

I've posted the config for Shadow below. Of course I removed passwords, ACL list, and renumbered the networks.

With the config below, I had all incoming traffic coming from one of the T1's, and all outgoing traffic going out over the other. If either link failed, BGP would switch traffic from which ever T1 failed over to the other T1.

I want to modify this configuration to allow both T1's to run at the same time, so I can get some additional bandwidth.

I've talked to my ISP and they stated that this is fine, that all the power is in my config on my router and there is nothing they need to do. What I gather I need to change is; ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0/1.1 10 to ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0/1.1

and then add to the section; router bgp 1234 the line maximum-paths 2

Is that it? Any thing else? My ISP mentioned that with BGP I might need to poison the routes. With maximum-paths 2, won't BPG start load sharing over both T1's?

is there something bad I am missing about adding maximum-paths 2?

To answer my own question, this does not work. With or without the maximum-paths 2 statement, having two default gateways with the same priority results in my outgoing traffic going over both T1's, but traffic from my ISP back to me only travels down one T1. The other has

0 utilization inbound.

on my AS's. I think I am saying that correctly. So the question is, how does one specify 8 in Cisco IOS?
