You can, but since you have two ADSL lines, you'll need two ADSL devices of
some kind, whether it's a pair of 5861s, or a 5861 and an ADSL port adapter
(external modem, PCI card, whatever) that Linux supports.

The simplest solution will be to have the same setup for both lines.  Either
use two 5861s, or get two ADSL adapters that Linux can talk to.

So both lines were supplied by the same ISP?

If you want to remove the 5861 from the picture entirely, you'll need to
replace it with some sort of ADSL adapter.  You can't just plug a DSL line
into an ethernet card.

It would help if you could draw a diagram of your network so we could get a
better idea of what yo're trying to do.
