You can buy a switch. Connect the DSL modem to it, then branch off the switch to each 'box'.

But with that you'll need a seperate account for each machine with the broadband provider. A better alternative would be a router which (typically) uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to transparently share a single account between any number of client PCs. However, I don't think that's what is being requested. I think I have a fair idea of what is needed but I'll need further clarification of what he actually wants to do before I can say much.
