For DSL on more than one computer, I really recommend a DSL router.  I 
am amazed at how simple a solution this is.  The router takes care of 
making the DSL connection, and then acts as a local server (DHCP if you 
like).  All the computers just need to have a simple ethernet connection 
to talk to each other and see the internet.  In addition, you end up 
with a no-brainer NAT firewall.

Of course, this doesn't work so well if you want a static internet IP 
for web hosting or such.  But for the Joe Shmoe user, like me, it works 
great.
