Yes, you can install another modem, connect both to the same phone line, and configure your ISP connection on the new one. Then just click Start, choose Connect To, and pick the one you want to use at any given time. You should probably configure IE's Connection tab to "never dial a connection".

Can one set up 2 modems to be accessed separately on demand for dial-up service. I am having trouble with my internet connection for the last 3 months. Many times I have to disconnect and start over to complete my downloads. I can't tell if it is the modem, the ISP or the phone line. Local people tell me it is probably the phone line the interupts the connection. I get nowhere trying to talk to Qwest about a bad line. So I am going to try a new modem. But it is so difficult setting up my modem that I would like to keep it active in case it is not the modems fault. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
