Hi,

If I have two nics in my system and two dsl lines (each with a static
ip), one for each nic .. Now if I am surfing the Internet, which line
would be used?

In very general terms, the default or "first". But this can and does
vary by OS and can vary by OS version.

I don't think the PC can work with two PPPoE clients simultaneously.

I suggest the following instead...

The Edimax PermaLink PRI-682
http://www.edimax.com/html/english/products/PRI682.htm
which has two WAN ports and performs load balancing.

And the NetGear FVS124GNA ProSafe VPN FireWall 25 with 4-port Gb/s E-Switch and
Dual WAN
ports

If the PC operates under BSD or Linux, then of course it can.
It is also possible to direct certain traffic to a particular
connection.
Of course the average Verizon/MS-Windows "consumer" would never do
such things and is far better off with your suggested router solution.

As can Windows.

As it is with Windows.
