can i use 2 modems at home for DSL?

[vexingv]

so i have a new 12" powerbook but my wireless router hasnt arrived. i have verizon (pppoe) dsl. i still have my main computer online, but i remembered i had an extra dsl modem lying around somewhere. would it work if both computers were connected at the same time (i know i could turn off the main PC but its on to check my emails since i have yet to figure out how to import/sync my outlook stuff to entourage?)

thanks

No....each will pull an IP and your provider will then charge you twice....

check your dsl modem. some of the newer westell modems come with Routing features. all you need is a switch.
