Two modems on one network?

Hi, my first post,

I have 7 macs mostly running OS10.5, all linked into a 16-port gigabit router. Connected to the router is an ADSL modem. I'm getting 'free' a second modem (with a promise of 'up to' 24Mb!) on another phone line. Is there any way I can connect both modems to my network?

I wouldn't mind if the modem just connected to one computer, as long as that computer could network with the others.

Thanks for your help.

the simple answer is yes.

however to make it transparent, i.e. not have to manually input the gateway IP into each computer(half of your computers to one modem, others to the other modem), you would need a high end router capable of load balancing.

at least that's how i understand it anyways. and i'm not very good with routers.
