you need a dedicated PC
you need a modem
you need to load linux and configure to dial isp
you need to masquerade ip addresses from the one the isp gives you to
the several you need for home computers.
you need to read the howto's of of linux distribution that you load.
you need to then ask more questions *after* you have had a go and hit a
problem you can't get further.
