cable & dial-up router

Does anyone know of a cable router (such as a linksys) that also has
serial port, so you can connect a modem to it. If you loss your cable
it will automatically use the modem to dial out and connect. Does such
a unit exist??

Thanks

Gene,

The SMC700nABR, as Lucas pointed out, is widely available.

USR makes a competing model:

Hawking makes a wireless router with serial port backup:
