Should work. 
However chan_capi apparently cannot tell if a B channel is already in use 
by another application (that manages your dial-up). So that means you 
either need to have devices=1 (instead of 2) in /etc/asterisk/capi.conf 
to permanently assign one B channel for Internet dialup only, or you live 
with the fact that once in a while chan_capi will return a busy when you 
try to use two (outgoing) B channels while Internet traffic is on.

Not sure how i4l works in this respect.

Should work, although stability *might* be an issue. There are even 
reports about 3 cards in one system.
