I found a router that appears to offer all the features I'm looking for:

oduct_Code=200040
>From the product manual:
"The ISB Pro800turbo features Broadband connection binding
with its dual Modem Ports. You can mix connection types on
the ports (actually, for backup reasons, this is
recommended). So you can bind a Cable Internet connection
and a DSL connection, or Static IP and SDSL, PPPoE and DHCP,
etc.
The Pro800turbo will bind the bandwidth on your two
connections by sending network packets to both WAN ports
based on a user defined load balance setting (on the Expert
Level screen). If you want, you can bind hosts to a single
WAN port (on the Host IP & Group screen). Any single
download on the network will not be able to exceed the
maximum bandwidth available on a single WAN but the overall
effect of this binding is that the entire network
experiences vastly improved performance. The more computers
you have, the greater the performance increase you’ll notice
over a single Internet connection.
One WAN port also backs up the other. If one WAN connection
drops, the load balance will be upped to 100% on the good
connection… if that connection drops, you can have an
Analog/ISDN modem connected to the serial port automatically
connect. Thus, this provides automatic triple redundancy
backup… excellent for office networks that require truly
“always on” Internet connections. "
I'll probably give this router a try once I get my computers set up here.
Thanks to all who responded.
