I've had experience with DrayTek 3300V's - very easy to set up. Support up
to 4 WANs, VPNs, etc. Allows load-balancing across lines, routing specific
protocols, failover to backup WANs...

Can be had for about £380 ish.

You'd plug each ADSL modem of yours into a WAN port and your office LAN into
a LAN port. A little configuration via the DrayTek's web frontend and all
should be done.
