Two modems in one residence?

No.

One modem per DSL subscription. Further questions, go to the following Verizon News Group

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll subscribe to the more appropriate newsgroup.

Likely not. I know with SBC if 2 DSL modems are plugged into the same phone line, neither will even sync, much less connect (even if 1 is powered down). Even if not a physical limitation, you likely only allowed

A wireless router is a better option if you do not want to string network cable.

Sure you can. You just have to get two separate phone lines with two separate DSL accounts. If you want to have one phone line and use two DSL modems on it then the answer is no.

What is it you want to do?

I have an extra Westel Verizon modem, and figured I might be able to use it in a different room without having to send a wire from the other to it. Right now I don't want wireless. Anyway, I have hooked it up with a cable going from one room to the other.

Why would you want to do that? You'd need 2 separate DSL connections. And the workstations would not be on the same physical network.
