That seems like a lot of overkill.  Go out and buy a broadband router.  Plug
it into the DSL modem and plug the rest of your computers into the router.
The router will do any necessary logins to the cable system and act as a DHCP
and DNS server for your network.

Go to http://salescircular.com to look for deals at local stores.
