Can Two Westel Frontier Modems Be Connected On One Line?

Frontier told me that they activate the line, not the modem, with the new areas that they brought DSL to. I have another Frontier Westel modem so can I connect that modem up as well having two modems on one phone line for internet access?

If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, no, they will stomp on each other. You can't have two modems on the same line at the same time. Now, if you have a second pair provisioned (aka "Second Connect"), you can have two separate modems in your home on two separate lines at the same time. That will work. Or if you want to switch between two different modems on one line (not plugging them in at the same time), that works also.
