There are quad cards for NT. Getting Ethernet into your firewall is
the least of your problems, though -- the tough part is NAT and
routing. If both of these lines go to the internet, I would focus on
sending regular browsing through the DSL line, then running services which
need to be reached from the outside via DNS on the leased line, with no
attempt to fail over.
If the DSL box can do NAT it can probably also handle negotiating an
address, via DHCP or PPPoE/PPPoA.
