It will cope fine with these two connections, although do note its not going to combine the two connections for the total speed, but it can be used for fail over or you can configure it to say have bittorrent down one and all surfing down the other and similar sorts of config.

Not strictly true, one user can max out WAN1 while another user could max out WAN2 at the same time but WAN rules (based on IP or port number) would have to be put into place for this to work. I do understand where your coming from with the above statement although.
Lots of people assume a dual WAN router can provide a 'Bonded' connection, it cant. A 'Bonded' connection is 2 WANs joined at the ISP end so you get the badwidth of 2 WANs but have only 1 external IP address attached to the two lines.
Also the 2950 has a maximum of 90Mb thoughput on the router acording to this

this is the theoretical maximum so may be reduced depending on the ammount of options and users configured in the router.
