My wife has Her office upstairs hooked to our DSL modem/router.It works great. I have my laptop downstairs in the kitchen but signal strength is weak, I loose connection a lot.
Can I hook another Modem to the phone line down stairs?
I've tried a booster antenna on the modem.

You should be able to. You just need another modem.

No, you can't. You need another phone line.

DSL is a Point-to-point technology.

One DSLAM port at the Central Office talks to one endpoint (DSL modem)

You need a range booster or a wireless repeater if your signal strength is too weak.

how about two wrt54gl routers? they can be configured ( with appropriate open source firmware ) to speak to each other as repeaters.
either that or install a higher gain antenna for both the router and the lappytop.

In addition to dailun and lubricant's replies, see my signature for a couple of methods to extend wireless coverage

I am using the following

HWRN2 - Hi-Gain Wireless-300N Router
HWABN1 - Hi-Gain Wireless-300N Access Point/Bridge

I get full N connectivity with 70-90% signal strength through 2 walls and a floor over a total distance of about 50 feet.
