I dunno. But I wouldn't have thought you could use two adsl modems on
the same line just as you can't use two analogue modems on the same

the two modems.

I believe some are supported. But I wouldn't recommend that.

Really, your best option is one adsl modem/router and then either UTP or
wireless.
