How to Configure 2 Jetstream Connections from Different ISPs

I have the following problem.
Two Jetstream connections on two phone lines.
One is Xtra with a fixed IP address (Jetstream Home 1000) that brings email
to our mail server and http traffic to the internal web server that we allow
some people to view. All works OK

The other is just recent and is Jetstart with another ISP with unlimited
bandwidth but no fixed IP address. It also works well. (Sometimes is faster)
Xtra one has Dynalink modem and Jetstart has an old M1122.

I have an XP machine with two ithernet cards running as a firewall to the
internal network.

If i set the default gateway on the internet ithernet card on the firewall
to either adsl modem each on works ok but when using the jetstart one as the
gateway, no email comes in from the internet.
I have connected the dynalink to the M1122 and the firewall to the M1122
and both modems are on different IP addresses.

What i want to do is have all "traffic originating here go in out the
Jetstart line and only "inbound" email and connections coming into our
server go over the Xtra connection.

Virtual Server settings are set on the Jetstream modem to correctly route
the traffic through the firewall to the internal server yet it seems when i
set the default gateway on the firewall to the Jetstart modem this incoming
traffic in unable to get through.

Any help appreciated??
