Multiple sound devices

I am writing a program which listens and reacts to voice coming from a phone line. My program currently uses a 56k modem to dial out and then listens on the line in channel (which has a lead to the modem output) for the voice. I would like to put 5 modems in one computer and run the program 5 times. This might be able to be accomplished if I have 5 sound cards but my question is: is it possible to programatically select which sound card I want the program to listen to? My program is currently in VB but I can convert it to Java or C# if necassary.

Any input or advice that might be remotely relavant is appriciated.

Cheers
 
Only one modem and one sound card would work since only one of each could be active at any given time. Most boards now only have 2 or 3 pci slots available while some still have 4 or 5. You would need 5 systems running insync with 5 separate phone connections meybe even 5 separate lines.

How's about a multi-modem card? Never heard of one until I Googled "multi modem pci card". Here's an example.

That has multi channel capability for things like call waiting. The thing needed would be a mutliple line input device where each line would remain active like a dsl line or cable. Then you would need a mixer program for level adjustments of the incoming sound from each.
