Get a switch thats supports VLANs ( eg cisco 2950 ), make a vlan trunk to pc
with 2 ethernet PCIs ( 1 to net , 1 to lan ). Connect each ADSL modem to
switch, put each modem on some individual VLAN. Now configure VLANs on
network interface on that PC connected to that switch ( i guess it will be
eth0 ) - you will get as many as you wish virtual interfaces ( like eth0.1,
eth0.2 and so on ), you can traffic shape on them, use iptables like on any
other interface...
