1720 Load Balancing

I have a 1720 Cisco Router with two point to point T1s pointing back to our remote office.  Currently I have one T1 for upload and 1 T1 for download.  However, i would like to configure it so that:

1: there is automatic failover
2: there is some load balancing since most of the traffic is downloading

How can i accomplish this?  Ive been told that all i have to do is install IGRP but i dont think that will do the job.

eigrp will do load balancing reasonably easily, as jfrederick29 suggested.  static routes are somewhat archaic in nature now, i'd suggest moving to eigrp if you run all cisco gear.   igrp will suffice if you have to interface to non-cisco equipment (eigrp is proprietary).
IGRP is also Cisco proprietary.
oh yea thats right..heh, there isnt much left that hasnt been touched by cisco in some way O_o
