You can use 1 DSL modem, and then connect that to an ethernet "switch"
which will allow you to have a hard-wired network with multiple computers
all connected to the internet.

I've had DSL for a decade -- my impression that the big problem with
DSL is the high frequencies coming out of ALL of the phone lines in
your house.  I'd think it'd be preferable to have the DSL isolated to
a separate phone line that only goes into one room of your house,
but I have never tried that (would require someone from the
phone company to rewire things into your house).

The term "broadband" incorporates all possible sources of
high speed internet access -- DSL, cable, Clear Wire, etc.
